OGT at LCMS Youth Gathering in New Orleans!

The Orphan Grain Train team is on the ground in New Orleans for the LCMS Youth Gathering, and today marks the first full day of action! Youth groups from across the country are working hard toward a powerful goal: 150,000 Mercy Meals packed in just three days.

We’re off to an amazing start — 4,700 meals have already been donated to Forged by Fire New Orleans to support inner-city meal kits. What a blessing to serve and be served in Christ’s name!
