Even those among us that have followed and served the Lord all of our lives, can still find themselves in troubling times. This call to action takes us to El Reno Oklahoma, where 83 year old Pastor Jennings lives with his wife. Pastor Jennings served in the ministry for over 50 years until a heart attack prevented him from continuing. The situation the Jennings are facing is a immediate one, in 2007 the couples home was ravaged by a damaging hail storm followed by a catastrophic flood that damaged many homes in the El Reno area. Although the Jennings were able to file a claim for the roof they were not for the flood damage and opted to use the funds to make there home habitable, otherwise everything they had worked for would be gone. INOR was contacted by the couples local insurance agent, who is herself a member of the Christian Motorcycle Association. Her concern is the underwriter is going to cancel the Jennings homeowners policy and possibly demand restitution of the funds used on the flood damage, if the roof is not replaced by March 1st 2012.This is where In Need of Repairs steps in, as this article is being written we have secured the following items:
