Make A Lasting Impact The purpose of LCPC Outreach Ministries is to glorify God by encouraging and equipping people, as led by the Spirit, to partner with others in sharing Jesus Christ with all peoples. |
GONE on an Outreach Journey! Here are some photos and stories from some previous LCPC Mission Trips:
Over 125 LCPC Campers Do Outreach at All Church Camp All ages joined together at All Church Camp to serve others. We constructed cubbies for a school for homeless children, donated backpacks for the homeless children, and painted drama backdrops with L. A. inner city youths for their back yard Bible Club. We explored through drama how to relate to homeless adults and also how to gather water from a river in Ethiopia. For pictures, click here.
A Letter from an LCPC Local Scholarship Recipient: "Thank you so much for this scholarship!
This is a huge blessing for me! I'm so excited to see what God has
in store for me this year
and throughout my whole life! My freshmen year went great and I'm praying
that this year will be even better! God has been so good to me! Once
again, thank you for helping me get through college without having to
stress as much! God bless!

Tour of Union Rescue Mission in downtown Los Angeles
On June 10 a team from LCPC toured the Union Rescue Mission on San Pedro Street in Los Angeles and gathered information about volunteer opportunities there. The facility provides beds and meals for homeless men and women and offers a year-long residential transitional program, which offers courses in life skills, computers, and job training.

Girl Scout Troop 782 Deliver Baby Items to Olive View Hospital
LCPC Families Do More Than Serve Homeless Families March, 2006 In an overnight, transformational journey to LA, LCPC parents and their children (ages 7 to 16) didn’t just serve the poor; they sat down together with the homeless, listened to each other’s stories, and got to know each other by name. They played with children who are homeless because HIV/Aids has taken away the family’s income. A great time was had by all, and love was shared in Jesus’ name.

If you and your children (ages 7 and up) would like to do something like this together, contact Jim Milley at jmilley@lacanadapc.org or 818-790-6758 ext 217. Go local during Faith Missions 2006. Here are some thoughts from one family that went:
Seventeen LCPC members and their children met early this past Saturday morning to caravan down to a World Impact church plant project in South Park, Los Angeles. We brought items for a yard sale and helped set it up. We also helped staff their health fair, which included screening for diabetes, hypertension, vision problems, and nutritional counseling. Our church families played with their church families, and a good time was had by all. If you are interested in serving with us in the future, contact Mary Ashford at ashford6@sbcglobal.net or Sandee Holt at sandee@lacanadapc.org. “I feel so blessed to have participated in the Health Fair. I loved meeting fellow members of our church in a more intimate setting. I loved using my nursing skills. I loved talking with the locals and learning about their world. Thank you for the opportunity.” ----LCPC member
Each year LCPC brings together a number of individuals and whole families from the church, to serve and share their God-given talents in Mississippi, constructing family housing by pounding nails and sweating!! Over 100 people from our congregation have traveled to Mississippi to build houses over the last 15 years. Families are being transformed, both here and in Mississippi. Through this work God builds people as well as houses. > Click here to see photos of one of their recent projects.

Your Shoes Are Still Walking John and Jude Tiersma Watson of InnerCHANGE LA want to thank LCPC members for the more than 300 pairs of shoes they donated to those in need. Click here to see where the shoes wound up!
Christmas Market Donations Benefit Poor Women in Afghanistan The following message was a hand-written card from a doctor in Afghanistan. (The names of the doctor and those she serves have been withheld as a safety precaution.) Dear Pastor Milley and Christmas Market Organizers, I was surprised and grateful when Mrs. Woodberry gave me the gift you sent to improve the quality of life of poor women in Afghanistan. I have been a doctor here since 2000 and have been able to use some of the funds already. So far, I have bought medications for mentally ill men, who were wife-beaters before taking the medications. Now they are calm, and the lives of their wives are much better. One such man was in a locked psych ward in Kabul but has now returned to his family. Please pray that he will continue his medications and that his wife will be able to accept him after he almost killed her. Only Jesus can perform a miracle in their lives. Another patient you have helped is only 27 and has 5 children. She has kidney failure and is pregnant. This pregnancy could kill her, and I have consulted with two different specialists about her problem. We are hoping that she will be able to carry the child 5 more weeks so that he/she will also live. Your prayers are appreciated. Thank you again for your gift.

Twenty one people from LCPC plus 5-6 people from Harambee worked together
to
improve Harambee's prayer garden--installing a gate, preparing a gravel
path,
planting flowers, and making & hanging an artistic cross. One participant
said, "
My level of fear was lower than I thought it would be. I wouldn't have
gone to
this neighborhood just 6 months ago, and now it seems comfortable to
be with
these new friends. Now I'm thinkiing about going back to help on their
career
day." 
June, 2006
Girl Scout Troop 782, all eighth graders at La Canada High School, worked
with Claudia Zentmyer at LCPC to deliver baby items to mothers in need
at Olive View Hospital in Sylmar. The girls bought and decorated the
buckets and then filled them with baby items. They were able to meet
the mothers of newborns and personally deliver the buckets, which they
found to be a very rewarding experience.
