Lighthouse teaching kids that police are their friends NOT enemy





It was great to have SCPD come to the "kids club" again. Pastor Jim wants to teach the children that the police are their friends Not enemy. Sadly many of these little ones are taught differently. We have already seen a difference in the children towards the police. When the police stop over to say hello to the children during the "kids club" the kids are excited & not scared to see them.

There are many people in the community "talking" about doing something about some of the gang, drug & violence issues happening in North Bellport & the surrounding community. The Lighthouse Mission is focused on "doing something" that will impact the lives of the children. Sharing the love of Jesus and building relationships with the community. One of the ways is to teach the children that the police are their friends. Not by just speaking with them during our program but instead- rolling up their sleeves and helping hand out lunch, make crafts and simply be their friend... What a wonderful blessing it has been.

Thank you Jesus!

- Pastor Jim
