lighthouse Mission wall mural almost done!


The amazing mural being donated & painted by a popular local artist Cheryl Richards on the wall at the Lighthouse Missions HQ (Mission Control) is almost complete. What a blessing!

Thank You Jesus for sending us Cheryl!

I cant wait to see what God is going to do next!

Truck equipment fails & skid falls .. bummer


Here is why Lighthouse Mission needs your monthly financial support: so we can acquire things like quality warehouse facilities equipment that would enable us to safely & efficiently move food donations (unlike photo: unloading equipment failed. No one was hurt) a much needed refrigerator truck to safely pick up food, passenger van to pick up homeless kids to attend the Kids Club, etc.

Please pray for more monthly financial partners. God bless you!

Scraps of paper become wonderful puppets with God





Here at the Lighthouse Mission we don't have a lot of fancy things to offer the poor children who come to our free weekly "Kids Club" - they just want to experience the love of Jesus. With God, even a tarp full of small bits of colored paper & scraps can become a wonderful puppet! -

Thank you Jesus!

People stand in the rain,cold,heat & even ice storms for food.


Many people have been attending the Lighthouse Mission daily street outreaches for food are willing to stand in the rain, cold, heat- even ice & snow storms! (this day was raining).. It is truly a "fish & loaves thing" that we are able to meet the 2800+ people each week that come to the Lighthouse Mission street outreaches for food.

The best part is that they ALL get to hear & see the Gospel of Jesus!

Please pray for these people & our Lighthouse Mission staff & voluteers.

(video) Pastor Jim almost gets hosed down by 5yr. old! :-)


The children at the Lighthouse Missions "Kids Club" were blessed with a visit from the fire dept.They were taught about the danger of fire. The children also got to spray a fire hose! Moments after Pastor Jim took this photo he was almost hosed down from his head to his toes by this little guy holding the fire hose!! PAstor Jim almost received another Baptism! ;-)

What a blessing to be able to work with these poor children. Having fun at the Lighthouse Mission for many is the best part of their week. Please pray for these children as many live in extreme poverty.

God Bless you - Pastor Jim

Homeless Children jump with joy when Pastor Jim arrives in the bus

When I pull up the Lighthouse Mission van to the homeless shelters on Saturday to pick up the children for our free weekly "Kids Club" I am greeted by a crowd of excited little children who run over to hug me & tell me that they missed me....

I am a blessed man -- Pastor Jim

Warmer weather brings out MORE people for food


With the warmer weather more people are able to attend the street outreaches to hear the Gospel of Jesus & for food (they can walk further in the warmer weather). Moms carrying their babies with smaller children following behind, elderly people using their walkers to help them along, etc. Please consider collecting pantry food for the Lighthouse Mission. We could sure use the help. If you cant collect food- could you please pray for us? God bless you!

I can't wait to see what God is going to do next!

(video) "Kids Club" blessed with visit from Katies Puppets


95+ under-privilaged children at the Lighthouse Missions free weekly "kids club" were blessed with a free show from Katie's puppets. Ages 4-12yrs. Laughed & laughed.. Its such a blessing to watch the children laugh as they did. For many life is crazy and laughing is sadly in short supply for them... They made crafts, played games, had pizza for lunch & were blessed with wonderful new toys & bags of candy.

Thank you Jesus for allowing us to be Your hands to these little ones.
