Raising Wheels Wash & Roll

3/25/2019

 
On Saturday, March 23, six Southwest Region LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs arrived in Waco, Texas, for the first ever Raising Wheels Wash & Roll event. The K-9 Ministry teams met the family that started the foundation through the United Fantasy Flight in 2017. They saw them again at the BNSF Make a Wish Train and the 2018 United Flight. The family is so awesome. Their two sons are spending their lives in wheelchairs and their philosophy is they can do anything they want! Their enthusiasm is easily contagious. It was their idea to begin a foundation which held the event.
Families brought their children and their wheelchairs to be washed. While that occurred, parents could have massages and children could enjoy the all-inclusive therapy gym and playground. The Comfort Dogs visited attendees both inside and outside as so many volunteers worked tirelessly to provide all that was needed to make the day very special.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Elijah (Our Redeemer – Wichita Falls, Texas), Phoebe and Pax (St. Paul – Fort Worth, Texas), Triton (Messiah – Plano, Texas) Abner (Bethany – Austin, Texas), and Damaris (Memoria – Katy, Texas) enjoyed sharing our quiet comfort to all in attendance.

Special Appeal - Your Donations Needed to Assist Families with Flooding in the Midwest

LCC Affiliate Congregation with K-9 Comfort Dog Katie Needs Comfort and Help
1 Corinthians 16:14, “Do everything in love.” 

Imagine having your city surrounded by water where no one can get in or leave, loss of electricity, cell service hit and miss, homes flooded, and people with nowhere to go or ability get out. That is what LCC K-9 Comfort Dog congregation Trinity Lutheran faced – and is still facing. LCC has been in repeated contact with them to help and to spread the word to others to help!

Please Help with Your Donations!

Dollar per Dollar (as always with LCC) your gift will go to what you gave it for!!
Trinity Lutheran Church in Fremont, Nebraska, has been and will continue to be a beacon of hope to their community that has been inundated with flood waters. The church opened their doors to be a shelter for four days to people who had to evacuate their homes. It is also the home of LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Katie.

Trinity Lutheran Church and School’s theme verse for this academic year is from 1 Corinthians 16:14, “Do everything in love.”

Lutheran Church Charities has already sent $1,000 to Pastor Anthony Gerber at Trinity Lutheran Church to use for immediate needs. Please help Lutheran Church Charities continue to serve Trinity Lutheran in their desperate need as they serve their congregation and community.
 
Through showing love as the body of Christ, Trinity continues to care for a hurting community. In four days, they built relationships with evacuees, volunteers, community leaders, and each other as they served, shared stories, laughed, cried, prayed and worshiped together. Many members who volunteered stated, “Instead of sitting in Bible studies talking about how to be the church in our community, we now are being the church.”  They learned that Christ’s love and care shown to others transcends barriers that might normally be in the way, and that they really can love their neighbor who speaks a different language and of another nationality.

Pastor Gerber stated, “Every person who entered the church, whether it was an evacuee or volunteer, will feel the love of Christ and know they were family.” Dawn Gilfry, Top Dog for Katie Comfort Dog, and her team provided comfort and care to those who stayed in their church and are continuing to reach out to them as they were moved to another shelter. They are committed to following and helping these families through this long recovery process that is just beginning.
 
Pastor Gerber and Dawn Gilfry state they are currently assessing how many church and school families are affected. They know 1 staff member, 1 congregation member, and 5 school families have lost their homes completely. They anticipate many more families with losses will be identified in the coming days as the water begins to recede both within their congregation and in their community. They will be helping people with basic needs and housing expenses. 
 
Your donations are greatly needed to help LCC and Trinity Lutheran Church serve their members and their community. If you are so moved, please donate now, and please keep Trinity and their surrounding communities in your prayers during their long recovery.

LCC Disaster Response is in Contact with LCMS Churches in Rockford and Freeport, Illinois to Assist with Flood Recovery
Lutheran Church Charities Disaster Response has been in contact with the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS) churches in Rockford and Freeport to offer assistance with pumping water from homes and mucking as the water recedes.

Currently the Rock River through Rockford, Machesney Park, Latham and Byron, and the Pecatonica River through Freeport are at major flood stage and continuing to rise. Over 200 homes and businesses have been evacuated and are filling with water. The Winnebago County Sheriff reports the river is not expected to crest until the end of the week or later, which means more properties may be affected. Currently the dam/locks are wide open to help the rivers continue their outflow. They anticipate homeowners will be out of their homes for many weeks and flooding will be slow to recede with more snow melt coming down river from Minnesota and Wisconsin.

LCC is also watching the river levels in surrounding areas of our district that may also experience flooding in the days and weeks ahead with snow melt and warmer temperatures occurring. If you know someone that is in need of assistance in the Northern Illinois District (NID), please contact Lutheran Church Charities Disaster Response at 866-455-6466 or dradmin@lutheranchurchcharities.org. Our LCC LERT teams are willing to respond with the mercy, compassion, presence and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need.

Please keep all those affected by flooding in the Northern Illinois District and surrounding states in your prayers as they face many losses and a long recovery.

Trailer Needed for Disaster Response 4 Wheeler to Get into Flooded Areas
Your financial assistance is needed to get a trailer to haul our 4 wheeler to flooded areas to bring in pumps to help people pump out their homes. The trailer we had to haul the 4 wheeler is now being used to haul the Disaster Response Boom Lift for our chainsaw teams.

Due to the current flooding situation, we are in urgent need of this trailer to haul our 4 wheeler. Cost of the trailer is $3,000. If you are moved to help us, please click the button below. THANK YOU!!!

LCC K-9 Ministry Teams Comfort Law Enforcement, Family, and Friends of McHenry County Deputy Killed in the Line of Duty

3/19/2019

 
McHenry County Deputy Sheriff Jacob Keltner (age 35) was killed in the line of duty on March 7, 2019. He was shot while attempting to arrest a man wanted on several warrants. This occurred in Rockford, Illinois, as Deputy Keltner was serving with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

Deputy Keltner was a 13 year veteran of the sheriff's department, and five year member of the fugitive task force. He comes from a law enforcement family, with ties to the DuPage County Sheriff's Office. He is survived by his wife, and two young sons.

The Illinois Critical Incident Memorial Team reached out to Patrick Quinn, LCC K-9 Police Ministry Coordinator, to invite LCC K-9 Police Ministry, LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry, and LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry teams to the visitation and funeral, at the request of Deputy Keltner's family. Teams met with family members, law enforcement personnel from all over the United States, and others who came to pay their respects.
Donate - LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Fund
During the visitation and funeral on March 12 – 13, LCC K-9 Police Ministry Dog Julia was assigned to be with the family. At the funeral, the following Bible verse was featured. Amazingly, this happens to be Julia's Bible verse.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:38-39

The following LCC K-9 Ministry Teams were blessed to serve:

LCC K-9 Police Ministry
Shiloh (Christ Our Savior – Dixon, Illinois)
Julia (King of Glory – Elgin, Illinois)
Eve (St. John’s – Lombard, Illinois)
Susie (St. Peter – Arlington Heights, Illinois)

The LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Journey Begins with Volunteer Apprentice Trainers!

3/19/2019

 
Volunteer Apprentice Trainers Needed for Future LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs
Every LCC K-9 Comfort Dog begins their journey with volunteer apprentice trainers that pour love, time, patience, and hope into nurturing and training these beautiful creatures given to us by God. Beginning as an 8 week old Golden Retriever puppy, Comfort Dogs in Training learn all about love, calmness, and consistency from the loving hearts and hands of their trainers. When the training is complete, LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs take with them the love and care they received from these incredible volunteers.   

Once placed, the handlers and ministry partners at LCMS churches can begin their outreach ministry with these beautiful LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs as a bridge to connect with people and show them the love, compassion, and presence of Jesus Christ. So many moments, so many stories, of what these dogs have meant to so many people and it started with the love, time, patience, and hope poured into them by the volunteer apprentice trainers.

Learn More About Being an Apprentice Trainer
Here’s what a few of our affiliate churches say about LCC Apprentice Trainers:
LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Charity (Brookfield Lutheran Church – Brookfield, Wisconsin)

Let me take a minute to give a huge shout out to the LCC Apprentice Trainers. They are so valuable to this ministry! They teach us and help us perfect being a Comfort Dog! “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”  Psalm 32:8
Picture
LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Tobias (Lord of Glory Lutheran Church – Grayslake, Illinois)

It took 18 months, 2000 hours, and five people with giving, generous hearts for me to become one of the LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs. Miss Margo, Miss Steph, Miss Lisa, Miss Kathy, and Mr. Tom trained me. They poured time, energy, patience, and love into me. They encouraged me. They are my heroes, and I’m grateful for them every day. The need for trainers is real and immediate! Be part of something special. Make a difference. Be my hero.
