Crafters at Summer Bible Club
Adults from Grace's Summer Bible Club and a crafters' group teamed up to make crafts for ministries in Port St. Lucie and Haiti, bringing generations together on the club's final night.
Parents and other adults from Grace's Summer Bible Club have been busy crafting to support ministries in both Port St. Lucie and Haiti. During the final night of the regular Bible club, the crafters' group and parents came together to work on these projects. This collaborative effort brought different generations together, fostering a sense of community while creating items that will make a positive impact both locally and abroad.
Haiti Update / Second Story on Clinic
See what is happening in Haiti and with the Habitat for Children ministries. There is a lot of good work being done, along with many challenges and struggles that they continue to face.
We are excited that the 2nd story of the Clinic and Care center are almost completed.
Haiti is filled with many stories of struggle and resilience as well. Below are some recent updates about what is currently happening around our Clinic.
The people are standing with jugs of water, patiently waiting for their turn at the hand pump. Unfortunately, there is simply not enough capacity to meet the water demand.
The mobile clinic is already seeing patients this morning, showing the urgent need for healthcare in the community. Many families depend on this important service, so it’s essential to provide proper support for timely and effective care.
How to Support:
Donate medical supplies and equipment
Push for policies that support mobile healthcare
Volunteer medical or logistical help
Work with local groups to reach more people
We need your help for Dorsaint Wilbens
He crashed on a motorcycle and was released from the hospital because there was no available room for him to stay.
Did you know almost 1 in 5 Haitians can’t get good medical care? Good care means more than just seeing a doctor—it means having someone who listens and understands you. Everyone deserves kind and helpful healthcare. Let’s come together to push for better medical services! Your voice counts. Share your thoughts or mention a healthcare hero below!

Lutheran Services Florida: A Valued Partner Committed to Service and Integrity
Recent claims on social media have called into question the work of Lutheran Services Florida ("LSF"), prompting the nced for clarification and a reaffimation of its longstanding commitment to serving Florida's communities. As a Recognized Service Organization ("RSO") of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod ("LCMS"), LSF has faithfully carried out its mission for more than 40 years, guided by its commitment to "Bringing healing, hope, and help in the name of Jesus Christ."
LSF plays a vital role in strengthening families and communities across Florida, providing essential services that impact one in 5O Floridians annually. These services include child case management, mental health and substance abuse treatment, Head Start early childhood education, and refugee resettlement assistance. From its inception, LSF has been deeply involved in resettlement efforts, ensuring that those who are legally admitted to the country receive the resources and support necessary to build stable and self-sufficient lives.
LSF's dedication to serving vulnerable populations has been recognized at the national level. In 2024, Lutheran Services in America awarded LSF President and CEO Sam Sipes the Micah Award for his leadership, particularly in expanding LSF's Head Start program, which has provided invaluable early cducation opportunities to families in need.
Additionally, in 2007, LSF was named a "Finalist" for Top Non-Profit of the Year, highlighting its impact in refugee resettlement and other critical areas of community service. These recognitions reflect the organization's integrity, transparency, and dedication to serving those in need.
Recent allegations regarding LSF's work with refugees and immigration misrepresent the facts. It is important to be clear:
LSF only assists individuals who are assigned to it by Federal or State authorities.
Funding for its refugee programs comes primarily from federal and state contracts and is used to serve individuals with legal status, such as those under Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
LSF operates strictly within the parameters of its contracts to assist individuals legally assigned to its care.
The accusation of "money laundering" is completely unfounded and without basis in fact. While LSF, like many nonprofit organizations, has faced budget challenges including staff reductions due to state funding changes; there is no evidence of corruption or financial misconduct. LSF remains a trusted partner of both state and federal agencies and is consistently sought out for its strong record of compliance and excellence in social service delivery. In addition, they remain a valued partner with the Florida Georgia District and we rejoice in the privilege of working together for the sake of our communities and asa witness of Christ's love.
The work of LSF is not political; it is a reflection of Christ's command to love and serve our neighbors. As the FLGA District, our mission is first and foremost the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for life and salvation. In following this mission, we live by the words of Scripture
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength... and "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:30-31)
Caring for those in need is a fundamental expression of our faith, and LSF continues to fulfill this calling while fully adhering to the laws of the land.
LSF remains a mission-driven organization, dedicated to serving Florida's most vulnerable individuals and families with integrity, compassion, and accountability.
I ask for your continued prayers for our ministry partner, LSF, that God may bless and sustain their work. Let us remain stead fast in our mission, knowing that:
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)
May we stand firm in truth and love, supporting those who dedicate their lives to serving others in Christ's name,
Rev. James H. Rockey, President The Florida-Georgia District
