LCC K-9 Ministries Welcomes New Affiliate Handlers!

LCC was so blessed to have 12 affiliates from 9 different states represented during the Additional Handler training on March 16 - 17. LCC is happy to welcome these wonderful individuals have been called to go out and serve their home communities to share the mercy, compassion, presence, and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those in need. 

The handlers spent a lot of time learning new handling skills and building their knowledge about the 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
