Youth and Adults Load for Latvia Together
This is what can be accomplished when youth come together as volunteers, neighbors, relatives, and friends to serve others.
With teamwork, enthusiasm, and a shared purpose, these dedicated young people helped load a 40-foot container of humanitarian aid for Latvia through Orphan Grain Train Michigan. Boxes of blankets, linens, clothing, hygiene supplies, and school kits quickly filled the container, which is now on its way to the port in Riga, Latvia, and ultimately to the Latvian Red Cross.
Thank you to the Michigan volunteers for the energy, hard work, and positive spirit you brought to completing this shipment on a summer day. Your efforts will make a meaningful difference in the lives of many people across the world. Well done!
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:5-6 NIV
