5th Anniversary Celebration

‘Happy 5th Anniversary’ to OGT’s Michigan Branch in Sebewaing! On April 23rd, 2019, Michigan Branch volunteers packed their first box to launch the first sustained Michigan branch. Our branch has now completed Christian mercy care shipments to Kyrgyzstan, Panama, Moldova, the Republic of Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Malawi, South Sudan, and Peru. The Volunteer Crew of wonderful servants marked this 5-year milestone with a celebration of food and great recollections of God’s blessings.
