The Orphan Grain Train Norfolk container of canned pears, beans and fortified rice meals arrived safely in Venezuela. Venezuela Now, the recipient of this load, is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation registered in Georgia that supports the work and ministry of the Methodist Church in Venezuela. Northern Venezuela experienced two strong 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes in June of 2026. Another smaller 4.8 magnitude earthquake was felt on Tuesday, Oct. 13th.

So, we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV

Members of the Lutheran Women in Mission (LWML) and Ladies Bible Study groups from Our Savior Lutheran Church in St. Charles, MO volunteered at Orphan Grain Train Missouri-Illinois branch on Tuesday, October 13. They helped assemble and pack over 110 school kits and sorted and packed more than 20 boxes of quilts and clothes! Thank you, Our Savior LWML and Ladies Bible Study women for spending part of your day assembling those "much needed" school kits. Sorting and packing are an important task at any OGT location. We thank all the volunteers who share their time to accomplish this job so that boxes can be filled for shipments.

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.
Psalm 91: 1-2 NIV

Here are more photos of the Orphan Grain Train Iowa West load that went out Tuesday, Oct. 13th to Republic of Georgia. A strong crew of volunteers showed up to encourage one another and expedite the process. What a great gathering of volunteers. What an impressively tight load!

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
I Timothy 1:15 NIV

These donations of food and home products came from the Lutheran Women in Missions League (LWML) St. Louis West zone rally, held at Webster Gardens Lutheran Church, and from the church’s Seniors Connect group. Every week, the Orphan Grain Train Missouri Illinois branch supplies four local Lutheran Church food pantries with food and needed items for people in need. Thank you, LWML St. Louis West and Webster Gardens Seniors Connect for this generous donation of supplies. Thank you, to all the volunteers and donors who take the time to bring donated food and supplies to share with the food pantries in the St. Louis area.

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.
1 Timothy 6:18 NIV

Alla of Bible Orphan Ministry of Ukraine said that the Teterivka, Nova Borova, Korostishiv, Denshi and Kmitiv orphanages in Ukraine are currently asking for help with food supplies and generators for the winter so they can get through this difficult period without having to worry about this issue.

In addition, Kmitiv is asking for help in purchasing 15–20 bunk beds for the bomb shelter. Conditions there are quite uncomfortable, and the children have nowhere to play or sleep during air raid alerts.

These photos were sent by Alla of Ukraine. They are of the Kmitiv bombshelter that is used by the orphanage during air raid alerts.

Lord, we pray for peace in Ukraine.

It has been a busy two weeks in many of the parishes of New Orleans as community groups gathered to put food boxes together and then distributed the boxes to people in need. Full distributions of boxes containing rice, beans, canned tuna, onions, cucumbers, apples, cabbage and potatoes were shared with individuals, pantries and faith-based groups. Refined Community Empowerment distributed at 5th African Baptist Church, while Geraldine Watkins distributed out of her home in LaPlace. Orphan Grain Train has been helping to support the relief of food insecurity in the area. OGT Wisconsin recently delivered 38,000 pounds of potatoes to Toi Carter and Louisiana Just Recovery. The Episcopal Food Pantry in St. Francisville, Louisiana Organization for Refugees and Immigrants, Youth Ministry Explosion for Christ International and Common Ground Relief helped distribute the many pounds of potatoes. Thank you, to the many volunteers who came out to pack boxes, load trucks, knock on doors and hand out boxes.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Luke 6:38

Weekly Devotion
I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. For this reason, I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God . . . This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. (2 Timothy 1:1-5a, 9b-10)

Parents & Grandparents—Children & Grandchildren: Is there anyone who plays a greater role in faith formation in our children and grandchildren than parents and grandparents? Timothy was a young man whose mother was Jewish, while his father was Greek. St. Paul seems to have adopted him as a surrogate son, and Timothy went on to become a pastor. He was apparently nurtured in the faith by “(his) grandmother Lois and in (his) Mother Eunice.”

Don’t underestimate the influence you have on your children and grandchildren! As the product of an education in Lutheran schools, I am more convinced than ever in the worthiness of a Christian education. I am also thoroughly convinced that Christian education begins in the home.

We role model our faith. We talk about Jesus. We pray together. We ensure that our children and grandchildren attend church and Sunday School. If we are able, we enroll them in Lutheran schools. We work together to teach “this grace . . . given us in Christ Jesus.”

Heavenly Father, bless us to be godly parents and grandparents, good role models for our children and grandchildren, teaching them about Jesus. Bless the ministry of our Lutheran daycares, preschools, grade schools, and high schools. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our Savior Lutheran Church high school youth and their two leaders volunteered at Orphan Grain Train Norfolk on Sunday, October 11th. This amazing group of students understood the mission and accomplished great things: sorting and packing school supplies, hygiene supplies, clothing and diapers. Thank you, for coming to OGT Norfolk and making an impact by volunteering. Nicely done!

Behold! I give you power. Not weakness and fear and timidity and cowardice, not inability, but ability.
Luke 10:19 NIV

Eleven quilters from St Paul Lutheran Church in St Joseph, Missouri made 55 beautiful quilts and 58 lap robes to donate to Orphan Grain Train Lincoln. The 4th grade class at the church helped display all the quilts for the blessing of the quilts. Thank you, St. Paul Lutheran of St. Jo, Missouri for this amazing donation of quilts and lap robes. Your hands have been very busy piecing these together so that they can be shared with others.

Not to us, Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.
Psalm 115:1 NIV
