Orphan Grain Train’s Mission In loving response to Christ, the Servant, the Orphan Grain Train movement encourages and enables God’s people to share personal and material resources in bringing Christ’s name and character to needy people both far and near. Sometimes that character expresses itself as a word well spoken, sometimes as a bandage well applied, and sometimes as a child well fed. Maybe you would like to partner with Orphan Grain Train to bring hope to needy people around the world. Orphan Grain Train has an ongoing need for volunteers for all kinds of jobs, such as: sorting and packing clothing and relief supplies, loading trucks, driving trucks, and even office work. 427 N.
