Send me.” The following new LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry handlers have heard the call: Top Dog Warren Hellbusch, Mary Hellbusch, Amber Kohl, Marlene Olson, Joan Plummer, Andy Stadler LCC is honored to include the following veteran handler to the LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry and law enforcement handler to the LCC K-9 Police Ministry: Troy Urkoski, Army Reserves, 1994 – 2004 (retired), and Investigator, Columbus Police Department (Army Veteran and Police Officer) God is with them as they begin this new journey as part of the LCC K-9 Ministry. Please keep the Peace Lutheran Church LCC K-9 Comfort Dog team in your prayers for God’s guidance as they go out to share, with so many who are hurting and alone, the Mercy, Compassion, Presence, and Proclamation of Jesus Christ. Lutheran Church Charities works through congregations nationwide to share the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus to those who are suffering and in need. Most recently, LCC has been working with Pastor Paul Frank of Hosanna Lutheran Church in Mesa, Arizona to assist a young mother in need. We are working with a young mother in need of a donated vehicle. Sarah has come to us through the ministry of Lutheran Church Charities. Sarah is a young mom who is also battling thyroid cancer. She has 4 children, 2 of whom have disabilities and are in need of regular therapy visits. Sarah’s car is beyond repair. Sarah is also looking for part-time work to help ends meet, however, due to her cancer treatments and her compromised immune system she needs to find work with very little contact with the public. Other items Sarah could use include a washing machine, a stove, and a trampoline which is used for therapy for her two special needs children. God’s Peace be with you always, Pastor Paul Frank Hosanna Lutheran Church Mesa, Arizona If you know of anyone in the Mesa, Arizona area who might have any of these items or a vehicle to donate, or if you know of any potential work opportunities, please contact Pastor Paul Frank at Hosanna Lutheran Church at 480-984-1414. LCC will take care of all the vehicle donation paperwork. LCC Thanks Donors for Helping Christ the King Serve the Homeless in Their Community
