Greetings! My name is Daryl Meske, and I am Coordinator of the Colorado West Division of a Christian ministry organization called Orphan Grain Train, a Recognized Service Organization of the LCMS, headquartered in Norfolk, Nebraska. Orphan Grain Train (OGT) is a Christian volunteer network that ships donated food, clothing, medical and other needed items to people in 73 different countries and 40 states across the USA. Established in 1992 OGT has been “bringing Christ’s name and character to needy people both far and near” for nearly 35 years. If there is a disaster at home or abroad, it is fairly certain you will find OGT involved in sending food, medical supplies and clothing to that location, all enabled by the work of an extensive network of volunteers at many OGT collection and distribution centers across America. (Please see our website at ogt.org – you will be amazed!)

We are looking right now to relocate our Colorado West Division distribution and staging center to a new location due to circumstances beyond the control of our current location, and we are appealing to churches in the Denver and Boulder Metro area who may have unused or underutilized space that might accommodate OGT’s day-to-day operations. We are eternally grateful to Gethsemane Lutheran Church for their selfless accommodation over the past 6+ years, and we look forward to their continued leadership and support with our operations workload even as we move on to other accommodations.

Could your church be that ideal location?

Below gives you an idea of our current configuration, but bear in mind we can be very creative with the configuration of space that you might have available for our use:

• a room approximately 600 sq. ft. (20’ x 30’) as a clothing sorting & packing room for day-to-day operations

• another large room or 2 smaller rooms, perhaps—for collecting incoming clothing and goods in preparation for packing, and for storing boxes as we pack them.

Even if you have available space but you’re unsure if it will work, we would love to have the opportunity to talk to you about it.

What’s in it for YOU?

1. We already have an experienced volunteer staff, but our prayer is to add to our ranks and increase our production here in the Denver metro area

– When people see God’s work through Orphan Grain Train firsthand, they tend to want to join the fellowship, the mission, the fun, and the satisfaction that bringing the Love of Jesus to people in need yields

2. You can dramatically increase overnight your church’s mission ministry by making use of under-utilized space in this way. We can only afford a relatively small monthly payment but please allow us to show you how you could optimize your mission giving through this partnership.

3. God may use this well established, practical mission to grow your membership and add even more enthusiasm to your fellowship!

Please contact me, Daryl Meske, at daryl.meske@gmail.com, 303-746-3951 with any questions. I am happy to discuss this mission opportunity in person or through my contact information at your convenience. God has been using OGT in effective and amazing ways for nearly 35 years, and we see only increase on the horizon in helping many suffering people in the U.S. and abroad in Jesus’ Name!

Please feel free to reply to this email, or contact me directly by leaving a message at 303-746-3951

Grace and Peace be yours in Christ,

Daryl Meske

Coordinator, Orphan Grain Train, Colorado West
