Orphan Grain Train - Lincoln Regional Division

Lincoln (Neb.) Regional Division

On April 12th, 2007, our third container of relief supplies left the warehouse bound for Armenia. We thank and praise God for answering all of your prayers on our behalf which made this possible. And we thank God for answering the prayers of the people of Armenia, Uzbekistan, and Belarus through your support of Orphan Grain Train. Please keep us in your prayers.

We are now accepting donations of bedding, clothing, stuffed toys and medical equipment (that is, canes, crutches, walkers, wheelchairs) at our warehouse in Lincoln. Donations may be dropped off only on Thursdays and Fridays from 2:00 - 6:00 p.m. The address is 2500 Kimco Ct. This is two blocks west of the service road that runs alongside 27th St at the railroad overpass between Leighton and Teresa streets. Come in from Teresa St. or State Fair Park Dr.

Elected Officers
Board of Directors

The Lincoln Division of the Orphan Grain Train thanks you for all of your prayers and other support for our mission. God has surely heard your prayers. The very first meeting of the board was held on May 19th, 2005 and on July 19th, 2006 the very first shipment of relief supplies left the new Lincoln warehouse bound for Rogachev, in southeastern Belarus (Belarus is located between Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, and Poland.). This is one of the poorest areas of Europe.

July 19, 2006 - Volunteers with Lincoln Division's first overseas shipment loaded and ready to go.

On November 3rd, 2006, our second container pulled out of the warehouse bound for Tashkent in Uzbekistan.

The Board of Directors of the Lincoln Division thanks the congregations of south-eastern Nebraska for their support of our effort. We very much appreciate all of the donations, the work, and the prayers His people here have given in response to God's command to have mercy on others.
