With Me On The Road

7th Annual LCC K-9 Ministries National Conference

As Christians we are called to Follow the Master – Jesus Christ. The #1 command our handlers use with our LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs is “With Me.” It is only fitting that this was our national conference theme this year.

Approximately 500 participants and almost 100 LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs, Kare 9 Military Ministry Dogs, and Police Ministry Dogs came together for renewal, sharing and learning! When Jesus calls us to be “With Me … on the road,” we “Go and Follow” where He leads us. We trust His leading – to go and serve whom and where He wants us to serve – with the Mercy, Compassion, Presence, and Proclamation of Jesus Christ to those who are suffering and in need.

On July 26 – 27, the 7th Annual Lutheran Church Charities K-9 National Conference was held in Northbrook, Illinois. Handlers and K-9s from across 23 states gathered for two days of inspirational worship, phenomenal keynote speakers, and engaging breakout sessions. This year’s theme, With Me On the Road, was based on the parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10. Attendees explored the many opportunities to better understand the question, “who is my neighbor?”

Once again, LCC invited the public to a “Meet and Greet” to give the many supporters of the LCC K-9 Ministry a chance to meet the K-9’s and ministry teams that they follow and have come to love. The K-9 teams welcomed over 600 people who loved on the dogs.

LCC would like to thank all of the attendees for making this such a memorable conference as well as all of our dedicated volunteers who helped make the conference a success. A special thank you to our fabulous keynote speakers, worship leaders, and breakout session presenters who enriched us with their message. We are faithfully ready to heed the Master’s command – With Me ... On the Road!
