Livingstone Christian Center Church
About this partner
The LCC church's missions team goes throughout the city once per week sharing the Gospel, identifying at-risk children & families, praying for them, and inviting the most vulnerable to receive support.
Through local church donations, the church is currently helping children combat malnutrition through food support and education. Thanks to sponsorship through Hope Story supporters, over 100 children from vulnerable families receive registration fee support for school. For approximately 60% of these children, this will be the first time they have ever had the opportunity to attend a school. And, these programs are growing!
LCC also operates a 'Little Reader Program' designed to develop the reading skills for at-risk children struggling in school. With large class sizes, children who struggle with reading can drop through the cracks. The children are also introduced to the love of Jesus and the Gospel story through this program.
LCC's most recent outreach program, after-school support through their new community centre, gives school children aged 5 through high school much needed academic support in computer, math, science, literacy and more. To assist parents in their support for their child's learning at home LCC also provides literacy support for parents who were not able to complete their own education.
The new LCC After School Club will provide:
- Computer skills classes
- Learning through play, for younger kids
- Job skills & vocational training, for older youth
- Regular checks on mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health
- Computer skills classes
- Food pantries for under-nourished children who need a healthy snack
- Vocational and entrepreneurship classes for parents, to bolster their child’s environment
This multi-generational support will contribute to lasting community transformation. Your support of LCC's outreach will re-write hope into the stories of vulnerable children and families.
