"Thank you" to ALL the supporters of OGT flood relief efforts! The response to help flood victims has been astounding and we at OGT are humbled by the generosity and the out pouring of help. There are hundreds of families that have lost so much with no flood insurance; their lives and livelihoods have been disrupted and devastated. The clean up and rebuilding will not be immediate and OGT plans to be there helping for the long haul. |

In addition to the local flood relief, OGT continues serving those in need of humanitarian aid and food in the US and worldwide. Since last Thursday, March 21 OGT has shipped 7 international loads! Norfolk warehouse loaded and shipped to Zambia, India, Nicaragua and funded a container of food to Republic of Georgia. Also shipped was a shipment to Kyrgyzstan from Rocky Mountain Branch and 1 to Lithuania from Central Iowa Branch. Domestic aid was delivered to Cornerstone Children's Ranch in Texas, Native American Heritage Association in Black Hawk, SD and Red Bird Mission in Kentucky. Business as usual plus some.

LCMS President’s statement regarding gubernatorial actions expanding abortion in New York, Illinois
"Our Christian faith teaches us to value life and to love each and every person as our neighbor. Love is life, and life is the great gift of love. Death is our natural enemy. This can be seen in our lives and in our world each day. Even the birds that seek food in winter testify that life is the goal of their movements and their work. The flowers that grow toward the sun seek the light that enlivens them. We all live under God, who grants life to His whole creation."

Written by Martin Luther in 1529, the Small Catechism provides a brief, clear summary of God’s Word on the essentials of the Christian faith. In question-and-answer format, it explores the Six Chief Parts of Christian Doctrine and includes daily prayers, a table of duties for Christians in their various callings, and a guide for Christians as they prepare to receive Holy Communion.
An Explanation designed to help readers understand and apply Luther’s Small Catechism has accompanied editions of the catechism since the early days of Lutheranism. The 2017 edition offers an updated and expanded explanation, tackling issues prevalent in our culture today. With 374 questions and 1142 Scripture references, the new explanation provides more biblical teaching and devotional aids than ever before.
