OGT Disaster Relief Continues for Texas Flood Area
Orphan Grain Train continues to send aid and support to residents in the Kerrville, Texas area who are still recovering from the July 4th flood of 2025. On Thursday, OGT truckdriver, Bob Schleppenbach delivered the second of three containers to Ingram, Texas. The first container holds insulation and drywall. This second container has washers/dryers, beds and linens inside. In the next few weeks, four donated modular homes will be delivered to residents in the area whose homes were destroyed by the floods. A work camp/ retreat center is being established in Ingram and run by local resident, Courtney Calhoun.
The haunting destruction of the fast-moving water is still visible, but the hope of the people in the community remains strong.

“May the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
