Here are a few examples of how the Hearts of Mercy & Compassion, Crosses for Losses Ministry is showing the love of Jesus through presence and prayer.

Prayers for Greg Zanis

Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) asks for your prayers for Greg Zanis, the man who for decades brought crosses to the sites of mass shootings! Greg is battling cancer and Rich Martin, LCC Director of Hearts of Mercy & Compassion, Crosses for Losses visited with Greg last week to present a Heart of Mercy & Compassion to him on behalf of Lutheran Church Charities.

More Hearts to Meet the Needs

Last week, LCC’s staff member, Tim Laabs, picked up hearts in Wisconsin to provide to volunteers who are staying at home during the current COVID-19 pandemic, and who will be painting the hearts and fish. LCC is grateful for all the churches and volunteers who continue to look for ways to reach out to people who are suffering and in need. Brookfield Lutheran Church in Brookfield, Wisconsin, has been just one of the many mission partners.

A Heart of Mercy & Compassion was provided to the family of Donny Fostner who lost his life to the coronavirus. Donny’s family are members of Brookfield Lutheran Church.

Our Veterinarians Going Above & Beyond
 
In this time of human needs, our veterinarians are taking precautions to take care of our furry friends. LCC is thankful for the continued support of Spring Hill Veterinary Clinic who has been taking care of our LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs, from the routine visits to the very challenging ones. Every member of their staff goes above and beyond. Pictured accepting the heart is Dr. Glen Redeker.

Hearts for First Responders
 
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.”John 15:13
 
In the past two weeks the Chicago Fire & Police Departments have lost members to the coronavirus. LCC is preparing two hearts this week; one for Chicago Firefighter Mario Araujo and Chicago Police Department Sgt. Cliff Martin. Please continue to pray for our first responders and medical personnel as they put their lives on the line each day for us.
