120 Hearts of Mercy & Compassion Are on Their Way to Maui

Last week, Lutheran Church Charities Hearts of Mercy & Compassion Ministry delivered 120 hearts and crosses to the Orphan Grain Train ministry in Norfolk, Nebraska, which are now on their way to Maui. 
 
LCC will return to Maui to partner with Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Maui, and Our Savior Aiea, Hawaii, during the week of November 5th, when they will prepare the Hearts of Mercy & Compassion with the names of those deceased, followed by deploying a group bringing the hearts, along with comfort and care, to this community. Please pray for the successful arrival of these 120 hearts and crosses to our partners in Maui.

Additionally, as the island re-opens to tourism, many of those displaced have received notice that they must vacate current government-sponsored hotel locations. Many are moving in with extended family and friends or will be relocating off the island. This situation will create a greater need for human services in other areas throughout the island.

Lutheran Church Charities continues to partner with the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod and Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Maui to identify and direct all support to these needs.
 
Thank you for your faithful prayers and support for all of the communities affected by the wildfires during the long recovery process. BE THERE with LCC to show them the love and presence of Jesus!
