Valley Lutheran High - Family Group Volunteers at OGT-M

On Wednesday, Sept. 22 fifteen terrific students from Valley Lutheran High School took a service day and volunteered for us at Orphan Grain Train--Michigan.  These young Christians pitched in at every task with a cheerful heart.  We shared a devotion before they left, so they will understand what we mean by saying they took seriously the expression from Luke 17:10, "We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty."  We thank the Lord for them.  Here is a video of their generous service.
