On July 4, 2025 a violent flash flood crashed through the Guadalupe River valley in Kerr county, Texas. The flood waters rose more than 26 feet. One official reported that the area received so much rainfall that the same amount of water that would ordinarily go over Niagra Falls in a month and a half crashed through that narrow river valley in just 24 hours. Ultimately 21 counties were affected. At this writing, the death toll stands at 120 people Iincluding many children) with about 173 unaccounted for. Please pray for the churches and volunteers that will be working with Operation Renewed Hope and Nehemiah's Network to respond to this disaster.

Why do so many doctors and nurses sacrifice so much to join Operation Renewed Hope medical mission trips? In this interview Jennifer Schilling tells us what has motivated her to travel all over the world with ORH.

This is the last of a three part series describing the remarkable ORH mission trip to northeast Uganda. Serving the people who live near the border of South Sudan required arduous travel. But as you will hear, those who invested in the trip were richly rewarded with the knowledge that they were able to offer genuine hope and help.

In 2023, missionary, Joe Risinger, contacted ORH about coming to his mission field of northwestern Uganda. Brother Risinger and his family are with Baptist World Mission in Decatur, AL. His board was gracious to recommend ORH for the purpose of reaching his field for Christ.

Brother Risinger wrote the following report about the ORH clinic.

"We praise God for the tremendous opportunity to host ORH in the West Nile region of Uganda for the very first time! It was such a blessing to see the team in practice, and see the love each team member showed to our local people. We prayed for fruit from this work, and got to see a total of 13 make the decision to put their faith in Christ! Most of these were Muslim; what a breakthrough! God has been good to us to provide ORH as a valuable partner in this work of advancing the gospel. Joe Risinger"

Such kind words are always refreshing. It has always been the purpose of ORH to fulfill our motto of "Touching the Heart...Reaching the Soul."

If we help the body only, we fail the Gospel which heals the soul. We must touch the heart by the mercies of God and reach the soul with the Gospel of Christ.

Thank you, Baptist World Mission, Brother Risinger, and those who comprised the medical team. Thank all who give for the furtherance of the Gospel.

In this interview, Pastor Griffis tells us about his experiences during our medical missions trip to Guyana.

Would you like to learn how the Lord could use you on a short term mission trip in some distant part of the world? If so, we think you will enjoy this report from Daniel Jones.

The Lord did remarkable things for our medical team in Guyana as we shared the good news of the gospel of Christ.
