Central Nebraska Packs Plenty for Ysleta Mission Load
Orphan Grain Train Grand Island shared 38,016 Mercy Meals, blankets, clothing, furniture and medical equipment with Ysleta Lutheran Mission in El Paso, Texas. There were also hygiene kits, diapers, bicycles and toys added to this load.
Ysleta Mission strives to transform lives through faith in action. They are responding to real needs with compassion, resources, and the hope of the Gospel. Their work spans across the El Paso region and into Mexico, where they serve individuals, families, and entire communities through practical outreach and spiritual care.
Thank you OGT Grand Island volunteers for all you did to make this load and delivery to Ysleta a success!
The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17
