Monetary Gifts Sent Will Help Families in California
OGT is working with Pastor Ken Frese, a retired pastor in Los Angeles, CA. He is familiar with the area that has and continues to burn and knows many families there. We gave him $50,000.00 to share $1,000.00 checks to families that have lost everything. The Survival Money is for the families to use on immediate needs such as hotel, food, toiletries, etc. Please pray for these families that have lost so much and living in uncertainty. If you would like to help support these families, please consider having your impact increased with a match by donating for OGT Fire Relief Efforts on Thrivent’s Giving platform; for every $2 donated Thrivent will match $1, up to $500,000. Go to www.ogt.org to find the Thrivent Button for the match. Or you can donate directly to OGT through our website or mail a check earmarked for CA Fires to: OGT P.O. Box 1466 Norfolk, NE 68702
