LCC K-9 Ministry Welcomes New Handlers

3/20/2018

 
“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’”  Isaiah 6:8

On March 17-18, twenty-two people representing twelve affiliates attended the handler training at Lutheran Church Charities in Northbrook, Illinois. 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 suffering and in need. The handlers spent time learning new handling skills and building their knowledge about the ministry. Each handler worked with either their affiliate’s dog or with a LCC K-9 Comfort Dog in training.
