Prince of Peace Welcomes Umbreen Upon her Arrival from Pakistan; Help Still Needed to Relocate Pastor Alfred and His Family
Last summer, Pastor Karl Fay from Prince of Peace in Palatine, Illinois, reached out to Lutheran Church Charities asking for financial assistance to relocate and reunite family members from Pakistan.
We are happy to share that the first family member, Umbreen, arrived on Friday, November 8 and was reunited with her sister Anila. This reunion was blessed by the tireless efforts of Anila and Gulfam, the generous support of LCC donors, and fervent prayers by many congregation members, friends, and LCC followers.
On Sunday, November 10, Pastor Karl Fay and congregation members welcomed Umbreen to the United States and Prince of Peace. The outpouring of love surrounded them all as they praised God for protecting Umbreen throughout this long process and her journey to the United States.

Your Much Needed Donations Help Provide Food to the Most Vulnerable in Haiti Humanitarian Crisis
Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) continues to work through our Haiti Mission Partners, Ministry in Mission and Mission:Haiti to send emergency funds to Haiti during a current critical humanitarian crisis due to the political unrest. Thanks to your generous donations, LCC was able to send $16,000 in financial support for food to our mission partners.
Helen M. Roenfeldt, Mission Director at Mission:Haiti reports:
"We have distributed two weeks of food to over 1200 families/individuals from seven different churches/ communities and one orphanage. The people who have received the food were determined by local pastors or elders as the most nutritionally vulnerable whether they were church members or not.
