Where God Guides, He Provides
A family of sisters recently reached out to Orphan Grain Train Central Iowa. They were wanting to donate as much of their parents’ household items that would be accepted. They didn’t want the items resold. With limited warehouse space, Richard Hartwig, the manager wasn’t sure if OGT Central Iowa could house all of the items. Shortly after this call came another call. In order to keep a family of children together and not split up in foster care, a woman accepted legal custody of four siblings. She called OGT Central Iowa asking for furniture to help make a home for the children. Central Iowa had furniture available because of the sisters’ donation from their parents’ estate. The Lord led the way and opened the door once again. Amazing to behold!
Where God guides, He provides.
Isaiah 58:11
