YOUR URGENT DONATIONS ARE NEEDED TO HELP ST. PAUL’S LUTHERAN CHURCH IN BEECHER, ILLINOIS, DESTROYED BY FIRE

When things seem darkest, Christ’s light shines brighter!

Please donate to help them rebound and continue to grow in their mission of touching lives with the presence of Jesus Christ!

DONATE — St. Paul Beecher IL – Fire Recovery Fund

In the midst of tragedy, God’s people remain faithful servants! Founded in 186, St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Beecher, Illinois, was hosting its annual Oktoberfest on Sunday, September 19, when the church caught fire which quickly spread throughout the historic 156-year-old building. The building is gone, but the church remains strong.
 
Rev. Michael Stein, the Pastor, shared, “The building is gone, but the church remains. The building served the church of St. Paul’s well for our first 150 years. The church, the people of St. Paul’s, still stands. We proclaim the comfort, the forgiveness, the peace, and the joy of Jesus. We are reminded that even when things seem darkest, Christ’s light shines brighter.”

Picture
In addition to the devastation of the building, St. Paul’s lost all of the church-related items and supplies, including the pastor’s computer. Working in partnership with the LCMS Northern Illinois District, Lutheran Church Charities set up a fund to help Pastor Stein and the church during the recovery process.
 
“We are God's house of living stones, builded for His habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns, heirs of His wondrous salvation. Were we but two His name to tell, yet He would deign with us to dwell, with all His grace and His favor.” Hymn #467, Built on the Rock the Church Doth Stand, The Lutheran Hymnal.

St. Paul’s Lutheran Church is a special part of this close-knit community. More than 30 emergency agencies responded throughout the afternoon.

On Wednesday, September 22, LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs Brutus (LCC Squad) and Nigel (LCC Staff) with their veteran handlers were present at a prayer vigil for St. Paul's to comfort the attendees.
 
LCC received the following note of appreciation from Pastor Michael Stein:
 
Thanks so much for coming to the vigil and everything y’all are doing. It does give me strength and comfort to know we’re not in this alone. My wife took this photo; the girl on the right is my daughter, and the boy on the left is scared of dogs. So it just shows the comfort they can bring.

If you are so moved, please prayerfully consider donating generously to help Pastor Stein and the members of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church during this challenging time.

LCC, working in partnership with the NID District of the LCMS, is collecting money that will be used, Dollar per Dollar (100%) to help St. Paul’s rebound and continue to grow with their mission of touching lives with the Real Presence of Jesus Christ – and Salvation only in Him!

HELP LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL DAMAGED BY HURRICANE IDA CONTINUE TO SERVE ITS STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY

9/29/2021

 
Picture
LCC received a request from Nancy Hernandez, Principal of Lutheran High School of Greater New Orleans in Metairie, Louisiana.
 
Due to the severe damage sustained by Hurricane Ida, LCC sent Principal Hernandez $10,000, the additional amount they needed to cover the September 30th payroll. Please prayerfully consider a generous donation to keep this school serving its students and community.

DONATE — Lutheran High School, New Orleans – Hurricane Recovery Fund
Picture
For over fifty years, Lutheran High School of Greater New Orleans (LCMS) has been providing education for high school students while emphasizing the values and teachings of our Lord and Savior. We are a stand-alone high school that serves the greater New Orleans area.
 
Our school is founded on the teachings of the Lutheran Church, but throughout the years, we have shared the message of Jesus Christ to those of other faiths and fellow Lutherans, with a very diverse student body, which includes students from two city parishes of various socioeconomic statuses. Our mission at LHS exists solely by God’s grace …here to provide a quality body, mind, and spirit education to all of its students, enabling them to succeed in college and be exemplary citizens who go forth to Love, Honor, Serve.

Last school year, our school population declined due to the impact of Covid-19. After a hopeful and successful start to our new school year, Hurricane Ida struck. This storm dealt us another blow - one that severely impacted our school building! We have roof damage that is so extensive that most of our classrooms were flooded or received water infiltration. Our HVAC systems were destroyed, and our gas line had to be removed due to a leak. We are determined to open our doors for this school year! Our plan is to close off the 3/4 of the school building that needs major repairs and operate out of the remaining space of the school. We can and will make this work!

As steadfast and dedicated as our school population is, we still need assistance from our faith community and friends. How can you help us? First and foremost, you can pray for our school and us. Secondly, any monetary donation that you can send our way would be greatly appreciated. Donations will be used to replace damaged textbooks and smart boards for the classrooms, school uniforms lost by students, computers, teacher salaries, and tuition subsidies.
 
Thank you for any assistance you can give us. God’s continued blessings to you.
 
In His Service,
Nancy Hernandez Principal,
The Students and Staff of Lutheran High School

LCC DISASTER RESPONSE SENDS SECOND TEAM TO SERVE HOMEOWNERS IN LOUISIANA WITH RECOVERY EFFORTS AFTER HURRICANE IDA

9/29/2021

 
Picture
A second Lutheran Church Charities L.E.R.T. disaster response team has deployed and is assisting the LCMS Southern District to recover from Hurricane Ida this week. They also brought 20 flood buckets that the Palatine L.E.R.T. team had assembled to give to hurricane-affected homeowners. The teams are working with Pastor Ed Brashier, Southern District Disaster Response Coordinator through Atonement Lutheran Church in Metairie, and the Southern District Office in Slidell, Louisiana.
 
Nine LCC chainsaw L.E.R.T. volunteers have begun serving in Hammond and Metairie, Louisiana, and describe extensive home and tree damage in these coastal communities. They have continued to work on a property with multiple large downed and damaged trees that another LCC team had started on their week of deployment. The homeowner is very grateful for all of the assistance and care shown to him.

Pastor Ed is welcoming and receiving L.E.R.T. volunteers who are willing to deploy from around the country to provide chainsaw assistance. More importantly, the volunteer L.E.R.T. teams are offering the hope of Jesus Christ in the hard-hit communities of Metairie, Slidell, Lacombe, Houma, Baton Rouge, and other cities.
 
Please continue to pray for all of those affected by Hurricane Ida and for all of the public works, volunteers, and LCMS and LCC Disaster Response teams who serve them. If you are so moved, please donate generously to help LCC support the recovery efforts in Louisiana.
 
Lutheran Church Charities Disaster Response is ready to show the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need.

Memorial Service for Handler Dave Erikson

9/28/2021

 
Picture
Christ the King, Newtown, Connecticut, and the LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry suffered a significant loss with the passing of their beloved handler Dave Erikson. Dave was a kind, gentle man and touched many lives.

As a handler for
 LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Maggie (Christ the King Lutheran Church - Newtown, Connecticut), he regularly visited the following places and brightened up people’s day when he arrived:

  • The cancer ward of the VA Hospital in West Haven, CT (along with his wife, Virginia)
  • Village Crest Center for Health and Rehabilitation in New Milford, CT
  • Almost Home Adult Daycare in Danbury, CT
  • Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT

LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Abraham (Trinity - Hicksville, New York), Addie (Immanuel - Danbury, Connecticut), and Leah (Immanuel - Danbury, Connecticut) and their teams joined LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Maggie’s team at Christ the King on Saturday, September 25, as family and friends gathered for the Memorial Service for Dave Erikson. The LCC K-9 Ministry teams were there to be a comforting and compassionate presence as Dave’s family and friends said their goodbyes.

Family and friends were able to sign a Heart of Mercy and Compassion displayed on a cross and write messages of love and prayers in remembrance of Dave.

Lutheran Church Charities Welcomes Faith, Appleton, Wisconsin, to the K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry

9/28/2021

 
Picture
In August, Faith Lutheran Church, Appleton, Wisconsin joined LCC staff for handler training. The team was very excited to meet their new LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Hagar and to become part of the LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry. The new handlers and caregivers spent many hours training in ministry and in handler skills.
 
LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Hagar will serve as their handlers’ bridge so they can be the Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need. K-9 Hagar’s Bible verse is Genesis 16:13 “So she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, ‘You are a God of seeing,’ for she said, ‘Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.’”
 
The LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry is one of presence. When the Lord calls, we must go and serve Him. Isaiah 6:8 tells us, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me.’”
 
The following new LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry handlers have heard that call:
Donna Bub, Jim Bub, Carrie Foster, Diane Frisque, Lynn Kolbe, Ken Lederer, Joann Schwan, Tim Schwan, Jody Springer

Faith’s LCC K-9 Comfort Dog team was commissioned on Sunday, September 26. They were joined by the teams of LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Charity (Brookfield Lutheran - Brookfield, Wisconsin), Sage (Concordia University Wisconsin - Mequon, Wisconsin), and Tobias (Lord of Glory - Grayslake, Illinois).

God is with them as they begin this new journey as part of the LCC K-9 Ministry.

In August, Trinity Lutheran Church, Toledo, Ohio, joined LCC staff for handler training.  The team was very excited to meet their new LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Claudia and to become part of the LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry. The new handlers and caregivers spent many hours training in ministry and in handler skills.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Claudia will serve as Trinity’s bridge to show the mercy, compassion, presence, and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need. K-9 Claudia’s Bible verse is Matthew 27:19  “Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: ‘Leave that innocent man alone. I suffered through a terrible nightmare about him last night.’”
 
The LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry is one of presence. When the Lord calls, we must go and serve Him. Isaiah 6:8 tells us, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me.’”

The following new LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry handlers have heard that call:
Nancy Borders, Mack Borders, Jennifer Eck, Dianne Kleimola, Linda Lewis, Erin Marcis, and Jonathon Rusche

LCC is honored to include the following veteran handler to the LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry: Mack Borders – U.S. Navy (1969-1970)
 
Claudia Comfort Dog was commissioned on Sunday, September 26, at Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Toledo, Ohio. In addition, Anna and Ezra Comfort Dogs were re-commissioned and all handlers and ministry partners were installed or reinstalled!  It was a blessed day for the Comfort Dog Ministry at Trinity!

YOUR DONATIONS ARE SAVING LIVES IN HAITI AFTER DEADLY EARTHQUAKE AND FLOODING

9/28/2021

 

Your donations help LCC purchase desperately needed supplies for most vulnerable Haitians

Picture
Our Mission Partners in Haiti - Ministry in Mission and Mission:Haiti continue to have people on the ground who are distributing desperately needed supplies.
 
The most urgent need is still for water, food, hygiene kits, and blue tarps.
 
We received this update from Ministry in Mission:
 
Food is in high demand. Inflation is up, roads are blocked making it very difficult to purchase food. Ministry in Mission can purchase food in country and distribute it to those living in outlying areas.

Picture
Picture
There is also a need for motorcycles. Mission:Haiti has identified three pastors in the area who need motorcycles in order to reach the people they serve:
 
Motorcycles are still needed for three Pastors; Pastor Jean Phenol in Fond Rouge, Pastor Pierre Onel in Abricot, and Pastor Bernard Jonis in Lebedin. All three are in the Les Cayes/Jeremie areas, where the earthquake did its worst damage.
 
The cost of a durable bike is currently $1,900.
DONATE — HAITI MOTORCYCLE FUND
We are continuing to send funds through our mission partners to purchase and distribute much-needed supplies.
 
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and is in desperate need of help. Our Mission Partners will use your donations to bring relief to those most affected by this latest disaster.
 
Please donate generously to help the people of Haiti as they once again face a devastating humanitarian crisis.
