LCC K-9 Ministry Welcomes New Handlers

Twenty-two people attended the ministry and handler training from eight different states and eleven different affiliates. LCC is blessed to welcome these wonderful individuals who have been called to go out and serve their home communities to share the mercy, compassion, presence and proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need.
 
The handlers spent a lot of time learning new handling skills and building their knowledge about the ministry. Each handler worked with either their affiliate’s dog or with an LCC K-9 Comfort Dog in training.
