 100% of Your Donations Will Support Ukrainians in Need  It is hard to watch the devastation taking place in Ukraine – the children, the elderly, those with disabilities! Young and Old. It is hard to see all the displaced people. The destruction. How Long! God is still in charge. God will bring good out of evil and God ALWAYS wins over evil. It is humbling to be able to work with Christians from various “tribes” and join together as one in helping people. “There is one body, one spirit … one Lord, one faith, one baptism” Ephesians 4:4-5 LCC has been and will continue to collect financial donations to be given out “Dollar per Dollar” to help the people of Ukraine to show the Mercy and Compassion of Jesus Christ. We work through Christian Pastors, Priests, Bishops and leaders. If they believe that Salvation is in Jesus Christ and Him alone – we work with them to have them directly distribute the money – within hours or a day or two. Not sitting around in a fund doing nothing. Because of your support, below are those LCC has been working with this past week. We continue to hand out what comes in to help those suffering as a result of the Ukrainian crisis.

Within 12 hours of that meeting, your donations were IN UKRAINE, helping people suffering and in need!

Oleg Ivanets, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at Concordia University  The Ukrainian crisis hits close to home for Oleg Ivanets, Ph.D., assistant professor at Concordia University and chair of the university's quantitative business program. Oleg was born in Ukraine and lived there until 2013, when he moved to the United States to pursue his doctorate. He is based on the Ann Arbor campus but oversees programs for the Mequon campus as well. He still has family and friends who live in the Ukraine with whom he is able to communicate. Your donations are helping LCC to bring Oleg’s family from Ukraine to safety in the United States. Watch Oleg’s interview on Sunday, February 27, with Fox6 news reporter Sam Kraemer: https://www.fox6now.com/news/concordia-professor-says-ukraine-invasion-brings-mixed-emotions Pastor Scott Yount, Missionary in Ukraine, Immanuel Lutheran Church – Palatine, Illinois  LCC is providing support for Pastor Scott Yount and his wife Lena (from Ukraine) as they have had to leave Bila Tserkva, Ukraine but are now helping to support refugees from Ukraine.
