Testimonals of Living in Community During the COVID-19 Pandemic
"It's been a great blessing living and thriving with the LCC in the past two years; it's truly a gift from God that is greater/better than I ever imagined when I first moved into House 9!"
"One of the biggest lessons that I've learned about being on mission with Jesus and Christians is that we can bear more fruits when we work together, rather than praying/working individually; I've witnessed and experienced the beauty of sharing our lives together at LCC, which has been a tremendously precious life experience for me in Boston. Wherever we are, I hope to stay connected with my Christian friends and mentors at LCC and to continue growing together in Christ."

“LCC has been such a core part of my life in Boston for the past two years, and the community has definitely been my central source of encouragement and support. I would definitely love to continue to find ways to support LCC!”
“I've learned that prayer is so fundamental for being on mission with Jesus and others! It's been really encouraging to pray with others especially when we've had some really hard things happen as a house in 2020, and remind each other that God's work is in God's hands.”

“Living in LCC this year has been a blessing.”
“Every location is a potential mission field. I love hearing the wisdom from my housemates about their respective work places and mission fields, and we have spent several evenings together praying for how we can be Jesus' ambassadors where he places us.”

“I have learned a lot about prayer over the past year. The consistency of praying for my housemates through both our house dinners and our gospel anthropology group has been very helpful. Some of the people in my house pray very powerfully, and I have grown in persistently and more fully praying for people, holding them in love as I do so.”

“Prayer has become a much more regular rhythm in my life this past year, especially as the first thing I turn to in processing how I am feeling regarding in response to an outcome or event”
“I found the devotional on transgression during retreat very helpful and as a result of that, had a follow-up conversation and time of confession and asking of forgiveness with one of my house mates”

“I have learned that being on mission with Jesus requires hard work and intentionality because it is easy to slip and cruise which leads towards spiritual regression.”

“When I first joined LCC, there was a particular community member (not in my house) that "rubbed me the wrong way". However, during a time of fellowship, I heard how God was working in and through this person. This revealed to me my own sin and also the beauty of this other person. This has grown my love for this person and for God's unique story in all of our lives.”
