K-9 Ministry Crisis Response - Prayer Vigil at Tishomingo High School

On Friday, March 25, the community of Tishomingo, Oklahoma, gathered together in prayer and remembrance at the Prayer Vigil held at Tishomingo High School for six lives tragically lost in a vehicle collision on March 22.

People in the football field bleachers bowed their heads in prayer and lit candles in remembrance of Gracie Machado, Brooklyn Triplett, Austin Holt, Madison Robertson, Addison Gratz, and Memory Wilson.

LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Miriam (Emmanuel - Kingfisher, Oklahoma) and her ministry team were joined by LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Triton (Messiah - Plano, Texas), and LCC K-9 Comfort Dog Elijah (Our Redeemer - Wichita Falls, Texas) to be there in support of this hurting community to share love and comfort.

The handlers from these LCC K-9 Comfort Dog teams placed six Hearts of Mercy & Compassion and Crosses at the vigil for each of the young lives that were lost. Each heart bears the name of the victim with the verse "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). People shared their grief by adding messages of love and prayers to the Hearst of Mercy & Compassion mounted on each cross.

Dear Lord,
We come to you for the families, friends and community whose hearts are broken after the loss of Gracie Machado, Brooklyn Triplett, Austin Holt, Madison Robertson, Addison Gratz and Memory Wilson. Our minds and hearts cannot absorb so much loss at one time, but you give us the strength and stability to move through each hour before us.  We ask for your comfort for the families and community in the midst their sadness. We pray they feel your loving arms around them so that they know they are not alone. Please send hope and healing into their hearts. In Jesus’ name, Amen
