LCC K-9 Ministries Welcome New Affiliate Handlers

Lutheran Church Charities (LCC) was blessed to have 12 affiliates from seven different states represented during the additional handler training October 5-6. LCC is happy to welcome these wonderful individuals, who have been called to go out and serve their communities carrying out LCC's mission to share the Mercy, Compassion, Presence and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those suffering and in need. 

During the training, the handlers spent a lot of time learning new handling skills and building their knowledge about the LCC Ministry. God is with each of these handlers as they go out with their churches’ LCC K-9 Comfort Dog to share the compassion, joy, and presence of Jesus within their communities.
 
"Be strong and bold; have no fear or dread of them, because it is the Lord your God who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." Deuteronomy 31:6-8
