Your Donations Make a Difference

1/15/2020

Your generous donations provide financial assistance with rent for a young family who is going through some tough times.

Sincere thanks to LCC donors for being living examples of Christ's love to this young family who found themselves in a difficult situation. Their generous gifts allowed me, as this family's Pastor, to place into their hands a very tangible reminder of what the free and unconditional love of Christ and His church looks like.

This young mom was absolutely overwhelmed with emotion at the presentation of the gift, and kept commenting about how it was such a clear answer to prayer.

I would also like to share the good news that the husband/father has been hired for a new job, which will hopefully last until his regular job begins again in the spring. Yet another answer to prayer! Isn't our God just awesome??!!

This family is incredibly thankful for the outpouring of love and support!

Blessings and peace to you!

In Christ,

Your Donations Enable LCC to Continue to Send Thousands of Dollars to Haiti Mission Partners for Immediate Food Needs

1/15/2020

Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) continues to work through our Haiti Mission Partners, Ministry in Mission and Mission: Haiti to send emergency funds to Haiti during a current critical humanitarian crisis due to the political unrest.

Thanks to your generous donations, LCC is able to continue to send thousands of dollars to our mission partners to purchase immediate food needs for the most vulnerable.

Mr. Orelus, age 93. We took food to him again. He can’t walk and he sleeps on the ground where you see him. The first time Lophane, our Field Director, brought food he had not eaten in three days and was praying for an angel to bring him food since he couldn’t get up. He told Lophane, that he was the answer to that prayer.

Thanks to great partners like Lutheran Church Charities, last week Ministry in Mission purchased, packed and delivered food in the mountains of Haiti. We had enough food to feed 50 families or 200 people; 450 showed up. Never enough!

Ministry in Mission

Please prayerfully consider making a monetary donation to enable Lutheran Church Charities to continue to send emergency funds to Haiti to help provide food for Haitian adults and children.

Thirty dollars will buy enough rice, oil, maggi, canned fish, spaghetti, and soup to feed one person two meals a day for three weeks. LCC Haiti mission partners are helping the most nutritionally vulnerable but need financial support to do so.

Join LCC as we pray for the protection of the Haitian people and our mission partners, and for peace in Haiti.
