Approximately 75 LCC L.E.R.T. chainsaw certified volunteers and heavy equipment operators from 23 different LCMS churches have already responded to serve at 30 plus homes.

Lutheran Church Charities Disaster Response L.E.R.T. teams are continuing to respond and serve with the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need.
 
As one of the homeowners stated, “God sent me all these angels to do this amazing work we could have never done on our own. Saying thank you just doesn’t seem enough.” To that we say, “It is more than enough!”
LCC never goes where we are not invited. We NEVER charge those we serve. We pick up all of our travel and meal costs. We put boots on the ground within 24 hours (often fewer) from the time we get the invite.

New Trailer Needed to Transport LCC Disaster Response Boom Lift Safer and Easier to Disaster Sites

8/4/2020

 
Picture
Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) Disaster Response (DR) wishes to trade in and purchase a new Aluma Tiltbed Trailer for $6400 (with trade-in). The new trailer will be used to transport the boom lift long distances to disasters when needed for LCC DR Lutheran Early Response Team (L.E.R.T.) chainsaw volunteers to remove downed trees from roofs and dangerous hanging trees and limbs.
Picture
Currently, LCC DR owns a 2,200-pound wood and aluminum trailer that does not tilt, resulting in several men having to tilt and then push with difficulty the 5,000-pound boom lift onto the trailer over the dovetail ramp. The total weight load can then be transported by only a few people with the required truck horsepower.

LCC can trade the current trailer in for an aluminum tilt trailer that makes loading much safer and easier. The aluminum tilt trailer is much lighter weighing 1500 pounds, 700 pounds less than the current one owned by LCC DR. As a result, the total load weight will allow more people with a less horsepower truck to transport it to a disaster location.

Picture
Please consider donating so that LCC Disaster Response L.E.R.T. can transport equipment safer and easier to disaster sites when invited to do so.

LCC Disaster Response Holds Annual L.E.R.T. Chainsaw Training and Service Workday at Walcamp

7/14/2020

 
Picture
Lutheran Church Charities held the annual Lutheran Early Response Team (L.E.R.T.) chainsaw training and service event workday at Walcamp in Kingston, Illinois, following COVID-19 safety protocol. On Friday evening, July 10, Ed Boerman, LCC Chainsaw Instructor & ISA Certified Arborist, taught the new Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) Basic Operation and Safety Chainsaw class to twenty L.E.R.T. team volunteers, of which eleven were taking this for the first time.
On Saturday, July 11, thirty-eight L.E.R.T. chainsaw volunteers came for the workday. Belvidere, Illinois, a nearby town to Walcamp, experienced strong storms the day before this LCC training. We were able to assess two homes that requested assistance and sent a team of nine L.E.R.T. chainsaw volunteers with a mini-bobcat off-site to cut and clear several downed trees in their yards. The remaining L.E.R.T. chainsaw and equipment operators and draggers stayed at Walcamp and cleared the grounds of downed or damaged trees, limbs, and brush.

The eleven first time chainsaw operators received individual instruction and guidance from advanced team leaders as they began to practice cutting trees and limbs. There was also an opportunity to instruct those with more experience in rigging techniques for safely felling trees.

The thirty-eight L.E.R.T. chainsaw volunteers came from the following nineteen churches or teams in Illinois and Wisconsin:
Illinois:
Good Shepherd – Elgin
Good Shepherd – Frankfort
Immanuel – Belvidere
Immanuel – DeKalb
Immanuel – Dundee
Immanuel – Freeport
Immanuel – Palatine
Living Word – Orland Park
Lord of Life – LaFox
Messiah – Sterling
Prince of Peace – Palatine
Shepherd of the Hills – McHenry
St. John – Wheaton
St. John – Wilmette
St. Peter – Arlington Heights
St. Peter – Schaumburg
Trinity – Lisle
Wisconsin:
St. John – Racine
St. Paul – Janesville
Picture
Walcamp Director, Bill Indelli, expressed his thanks to all present for their willingness to serve to prepare the campgrounds for the ministry they do.

LCC Disaster Response L.E.R.T. Chainsaw Teams Help Homeowners Following Northern Illinois Storms

7/14/2020

 
Picture
Once again, some communities in the Chicagoland area near Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) experienced strong storms and straight-line winds this past week.

Deaconess Kathy O’Day, Director of Disaster Response, Lutheran Church Charities, was contacted by Deaconess Lauren Olsen who serves at St. John Lutheran Church in Union, Illinois, with a request for chainsaw assistance at her own home and her neighbor’s. Between them, they had seven trees that were either blown over or split in half by straight-line winds.

Picture
Since LCC was having a scheduled chainsaw training and workday at Walcamp, we were able to utilize these two sites as a training location. After an assessment, a team of Lutheran Early Response Team (L.E.R.T.) chainsaw volunteers and a mini-bobcat were deployed to cut and clear the downed and damaged trees in their yards.

Both of the homeowners expressed their appreciation and God’s blessings to LCC for the quick response and to the following L.E.R.T. volunteers who so graciously came and served at their homes to clear the damage.

Illinois:
Immanuel, Belvidere – Carl Jurgens, Nick Shepherd, Dean Ulrich
Immanuel, DeKalb – Pete Springmire
Lord of Life, LaFox – Brad Fann, Jeff Straughn, Larry Zagorski
Messiah, Sterling – Jacob Beets

Wisconsin:
St. Paul, Janesville – Lark and Terry Sanders

LCC Disaster Response L.E.R.T. Volunteers Help Homeowners After Tropical Storm Cristobal

6/16/2020

 
Last week, Tropical Storm Cristobal moved up from the plains and into the Great Lakes Region of Northern Illinois and Indiana. This caused microbursts of 60-80 mph intense wind gusts that resulted in many downed power poles, trees, and limbs in several communities surrounding Lutheran Church Charities.
Kathy O’Day, LCC Director of Disaster Response, and our L.E.R.T. volunteers responded immediately to assess the damage and help homeowners in and near their towns while maintaining coronavirus safety precautions. L.E.R.T. volunteers from Immanuel and Prince of Peace Lutheran Churches in Palatine, Illinois, helped an elderly couple remove a downed tree that crashed through their deck. The homeowners felt that the team were “angels sent by God” to provide much-needed assistance at no cost and with such willing hearts of service.

This same team also helped a congregation member remove two trees that had large dangerous limbs, also known as “widowmakers”, hanging from the storm and a third tree left-leaning. Kathy O’Day received a thank you note from the homeowner after the team's work.

“Thank you for being there with the volunteers today. I certainly could not have done that work by myself (and lived). The team worked in sync and it was something to see. Again, our thanks and appreciation.”

LCC thanks the following Immanuel & Prince of Peace, Palatine, Illinois L.E.R.T. volunteers for their hearts to serve: Jim and Karen Beckley, Richard Habegger, Steve MacKay, Jason Stallard, and Dede Thut.

LCC Disaster Response Is Assessing Damage This Morning in the Northern Illinois District Caused By Tropical Storm Cristobal

6/10/2020

 
Picture
Tropical Storm Cristobal moved up through the plains and into the Great Lakes Region of Northern Illinois and Indiana yesterday. Multiple storms went through the region with a possible tornado, outbursts of 60 - 80 mph wind shear and strong thunderstorms. There have been many reports of downed trees, power lines, roof, and home damage in many communities surrounding Lutheran Church Charities. Many more storms, powerful winds, and tornadoes are still possible today.
Picture
Picture
LCC Director of Disaster Response, Kathy O’Day, has and will continue to reach out to our L.E.R.T. volunteers and churches and will begin assessments today of damage to provide assistance to those affected while maintaining coronavirus safety precautions.

If your church or community in the Northern Illinois District needs chainsaw assistance, please contact Lutheran Church Charities at 866-455-6466.

LCC Disaster Response Continues to Prepare L.E.R.T. Volunteers

6/9/2020

 
Lutheran Church Charities is making plans for Basic L.E.R.T. training and a Chainsaw Certification class as our Northern Illinois District churches are beginning to reopen in Phase 3 of the “Restore Illinois” plan.
Picture
The federal guidelines indicate that volunteers responding to a disaster should be trained and certified. Lutheran Church Charities provides LCMS training for Lutheran Early Response Teams (L.E.R.T.) through churches in the Northern Illinois District. Should a disaster strike, these teams would be put on call and may be asked to deploy in 72 hours or less to the disaster site. This training will prepare team members for credentialing and will focus on the safety, work, and ministry of Lutherans as Early Responders.
Picture
NEW: LCMS Disaster Response has developed new guidelines for youth participation so that L.E.R.T. training can now be offered to youth, ages 14 – 17, so they can also assist in general disaster response safely and under the guidance of their own youth leadership.
 
Trained and certified L.E.R.T. members are ready with willing hearts and hands to show the mercy, compassion, presence and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need after a disaster.
 
If your church is interested in hosting a L.E.R.T. training, or if you or someone you know is interested in becoming L.E.R.T. certified, please contact LCC's Director of Disaster Response, Kathy O’Day at 866-455-6466 to schedule or discuss further. If you live outside the Northern Illinois District, please contact your LCMS District Disaster Response Coordinator to schedule a training.
