Lutheran Church of the Cross (LCC) has been a strong supporter of Blessman International for over two decades. In 2002, LCC sponsored its first trip to Mexico with Blessman International (then called Blessman Medical Ministries), the first of many trips. For several years, LCC continued to partner with Blessman International to go on mission trips. Most trips were to Mexico, several to South Africa, and one trip to Bolivia.
