![]() We give thanks to God for the men and women in the United States military who protect and serve this country each day. We can only imagine the training they go through, and what they have faced to protect our nation and others. LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Ministry received a request from Richardson Honore, U.S. Air Force Chaplain to visit the Los Angeles Air Force Base in El Segundo, CA, to support our military service members; Air Force and Space Force. Chaplain Honore had worked with LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Lois (First Good Shepherd - Las Vegas, Nevada) and Salome (Faith Community - Las Vegas, Nevada) and their teams at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, and he had firsthand knowledge of the positive impact on the men and women from those visits. LCC Kare 9 Military Ministry Dog Rahab (St. Andrews - Stockton, CA) and her veteran handle, and LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs Lois and Zechariah (First Good Shepherd - Las Vegas, Nevada) and their handlers spent last Wednesday with men and women stationed at the Los Angeles Air Force Base. Two words came to mind to the handlers after their visit: joy and hope. Joy, as they saw so many smiles as they came by with Zechariah, Rahab, and Lois Comfort Dogs. Many people expressed the stress they are feeling due to the fires in addition to their military responsibilities. The handlers shared it was definitely God’s timing for them to be there that day. It was a blessing for military men and women to spend time with Lois, Rahab, and Zechariah, their handlers, and feel hopeful that their day was taking a turn for the positive. The visit came at a time that was needed as many of the service members were stressed by the fires surrounding them as many of them live in and around the fire areas that swept through southern California. Chaplain Honore and the Base Commander were very grateful for this visit as they saw the positive effects of having the Comfort Dog Ministry teams there to support the service men and women. We keep in prayer to God for these brave, honorable, dedicated men and women who serve our country’s military for his protection, courage, peace, and discernment in the face of increasing conflicts and pressures encountered in this broken world. "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.4 In God, whose word I praise- in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?" (Psalm 56:3-43) Comments are closed.
