"Greetings to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want to thank you in the name of the children that LCC sponsor school. Like I always say this is a big blessing for those poor children who didn't expect to continue going to school and want to. Brother Tim came for Isaac storm and God leads him to visit that tent city and decided to support those children in that tent to go school. For their parents it still a dream for them. Again thanks and may God continue blessing all our sponsors and all of the members of LCC. Have a blessing night with God."

LCC is in need of contacts or the items below - if you or someone you know can help us.

Because of the growth of the LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry and the number of states we are being invited out to, it is no longer economical for us to rent vans when traveling. Since LCC never charges those we serve (like in Newtown), we are looking for a Corporate Sponsor or Sponsors to help us with the purchase or donation cost of Vans. Many weeks we are being asked to be in two different states with our Comfort Dogs. The vans need to hold 6 passengers (K-9 Handlers) and 4-6 Comfort Dogs.

We are looking for a company or individual that does Vehicle decaling to put the LCC K-9 Branding and LCC Branding on our vehicles.

LCC is need of a place that can replace the back inside window of a small GMC Truck and the back window of the Cab - replace them to have sliding windows with a connector between the two windows.

Request from Pastor Hicham Chehab of Salam Fellowship in Chicago, Illinois

Dear Friends,

In the 1980s, when I was in college, I heard the Word of God from the mouth of a secular professor, and Jesus transformed my life from a member of the Muslim Brotherhood to an evangelist, and used me to plant Salam Christian Fellowship and a student ministry in Chicagoland.

Today, more college students are taking Bibles through our student ministry, especially New Testaments, and copies of bilingual Gospels that are changing their lives. We ask you to prayerfully consider donating towards purchasing more bilingual Gospels.

About two years ago the congregation took out a loan to be used to refurbish the storefront of the church. Unfortunately, their general contractor did not fulfill his responsibilities and the immigrant congregation has endured almost two years of frustration and waiting for prayers to be answered.

Tumaini Kristo is known throughout their community as a church that loves others. Both President Tim Hetzner and Rich Martin of LCC have visited the congregation after Superstorm Sandy. While they were there they met with Jersey City Councilperson, Viola Richardson, who is a powerful partner and advocate of their ministry.

For almost two years the front of the church has been boarded up with plywood sheets and there is no church sign on the building. Pastor Orutwa is asking for your support in raising $5,000 to install a permanent storefront. LCC has a volunteer who is willing to donate his time and expertise to deliver and install the new storefront.

Your support would immediately aid a ministry need for a church and their pastor who are working hard with the limited resources that they have to share the Gospel.

Building these safe room classrooms will cost approximately $500,000. Please donate and continue the Christ centered focus rebuilding Joplin physically, mentally, and spiritually.

A Pastor who served in the NID until recently has relocated to Michigan and is in transition. His new home church where he attends as a member, Huntington Woods Lutheran Church in Huntington Woods, Michigan led by Pastor Peter Nickel is asking LCC to collect funds that can be used to support this faithful servant in his time of need. All money donated will be passed through 100% to Huntington Woods Lutheran and they will use it to assist with any financial need.

Request from Pastor David Prentice, Jr.

Pastor Larry Frazier has alerted LCC to a serious situation for one of his members who is in the pre-seminary program at Concordia Ann Arbor but has had health difficulties that have put him in financial crisis. Pastor Frazier explains...

Westley Cunningham is a member of Resurrection Lutheran Church on the south side of Chicago. He has been in Lutheran schools since Pre-Kindergarten and is currently going into his junior year at Concordia Ann Arbor. Westley plans to enter pastoral studies. He contracted pneumonia in July and is hoping to continue his studies in January. However, Westley's financial aid is now in jeopardy as a result of his illness and absence from class. He has an outstanding bill of $7,365 and would appreciate any help at this time.

Pastor Larry Frazier

Please consider a gift of any size that might help Westley continue his plans to return to Concordia in January and resume his studies. All donations will be passed 100% dollar for dollar to Resurrection Lutheran Church and on to assist Westley.
