A Glory-ous Commissioning: Christ Lincoln welcomes second K-9 Comfort Dog

It’s been more than six years since Christ Lincoln welcomed Joanna Comfort Dog in February 2019 as part of the Nebraska church’s Care and Serve Ministry. 

On Sunday, Joanna officially got a partner in bringing comfort to those hurting and in need. 

Christ Lincoln commissioned Glory Comfort Dog and her dedicated team as the congregation’s second Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dog, equipped to bring mercy and compassion in times of crisis and disaster and spread the love of Jesus. Some tail-wagging encouragement often can go a long way.

The team is so excited to embark on this wonderful mission from God!

The commissioning caps nearly two years of training with Lutheran Church Charities K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry. Like Joanna Comfort Dog, Glory also will serve as a Kare 9 Military Ministry Comfort Dog. She will make visits to people in hospice, VA clinics, care facilities, schools, nursing homes, and around the community, state, and country. 

“What a big day! Feeling soooo blessed” Team Glory shared on her Facebook account. “I am so blessed to have such a wonderful team ready to serve in the community, a church that has welcomed me with big, wide-open arms, and fellow comfort dog teams who traveled near and far to celebrate. God is so good!”

To celebrate the occasion, six other LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs from Nebraska and Kansas, plus Joanna, traveled to Lincoln to be with Glory.

On hand to join the celebration were:

Eden Comfort Dog, Peace Lutheran, Columbus, NE
Keren Comfort Dog, Immanuel Lutheran, Ellsworth, KS
Meshach Comfort Dog, Peace Lutheran, Grand Island, NE
Nicodemus Comfort Dog, The Rock, Seward, NE
Phinehas Comfort Dog, Trinity Lutheran, Fremont, NE
Priscilla Comfort Dog, Trinity Lutheran, Lincoln, NE

“The team is so excited to embark on this wonderful mission from God!,” said Lori Howard, top dog for Team Glory. ​
