We are very excited to have our first ESL teachers meeting (English as a second language) at the Lighthouse Missions HQ. This class will be THE ONLY FREE ESL class in Suffolk & Nassau. It will teach Spanish, Urdu & Turkish speaking people how to read & write the English language using Gods Holy Word.. The Bible! Our goal is to share the love & Gospel of Jesus in a very practical way.

If you would be interested in helping us minister the love of Jesus to these two cultures please contact us. You do not need to speak the languages to help. We need people to:

1st & most importantly- pray for us & the attendees.

2. Help with some of the expenses of supplies.

3. teach a class or assist the teacher who is teaching the class.

Pray for us as we continue to prepare for this very unique class.

- God bless you

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

astor Jim & Enrique dress up as Jesus & the Easter Bunny & teach the children that Easter has nothing to so with a bunny but EVERYTHING about Jesus!




Pastor Jim & Enrique dress up as Jesus & the Easter Bunny & teach the children at the Weekly Lighthouse Missions "Kids Club" that Easter has nothing to so with a giant bunny but EVERYTHING to do with Jesus! You should have seen their faces- After the lesson everyone was blessed with a wonderful lunch, baskets of candy, crafts and toys. Most importantly, everyone of the children got to hear the Gospel of Jesus. What a wonderful Easter.

Thank you Jesus!

Who ever said that ministry is boring?

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!

Lighthouse Missions "Kids Club" have a visit from the south country ambulance team






The children at the Lighthouse Missions "kids club" were blessed today with a visit from the south country ambulance team. This was a huge deal for these little guys. We are excited to continue to teach these little ones that the police, fire dept, etc. are out friends- NOT enemies. Sadly many have rode in a police or ambulance far too many times.

These guys were wonderful & highly trained, skilled & we are blessed to have them in our community.

Please continue to pray for these little ones.

Thank you Jesus

God Bless you - Pastor Jim

Pastor jim + bull horn + truck of food = preaching the Gospel


What happens if you give Pastor Jim a bull horn, a truck full of food & a crowd of people. Answer: a Lighthouse Mission street outreach where hundreds of people receive food & best of all get to hear the amazing - good news news of salvation in Jesus.

What does 107 under-privilaged kids eating lunch at the Lighthouse look like?


Here is a quick video of 107 under-privilaged children (many living in homeless shelters) that God has sent to the Lighthouse Missions free, weekly Saturday "kids club" at the Lighthouse Mission HQ. Sadly, for many this is their ONLY meal they will have for the day.

If you are able- would you consider helping with this program? Perhaps providing for the lunch, crafts, toys, funds or even your time. God bless you...

Please pray for these children. - Pastor JIm

Lighthouse Missions Free after school program


Excited to see the Lighthouse Missions Free after school program "Illuminate" making a difference in the lives of children in the community - homework help, snacks, games, crafts & of course learning about Jesus! .. Most kids in the troubled neighborhood surrounding the mission is struggling with gangs & drugs & the kids have no safe place to go. Please consider helping the mission become a safe & fun place for them to go..

God bless you! - Pastor JIm

happy child finds stale cookies..



This little girl (who is homeless with her family) was so happy to be on the food line with her mom because she saw that the lighthouse Mission was giving out cookies today. (unfortunately they are usually stale- but she does not seem to mind at all) She told me that they have very little to eat at home & really need food & she thanks Jesus for "her" LIghthouse Mission - how cute is that?


- God bless you -- Pastor Jim

ook at all the 107 children God sends us each week at the "kid club"


I am so amazed at our Awesome God.. Does God still perform miracles? Is a common question pastors receive. Watch this video & look at all the 107 children God sends us each week. Watch Him feed more then 2600 people through the Lighthouse missions 10 street outreaches, not mentioning all of the other programs happening every day that are completely free of cost (btw the Lighthouse is not a church & therefore does not receive weekly offerings).. After considering all of that in the economic mess we are all living in- do you still think God is NOT in the miracle business? Well He sure is !

- God bless you... Pastor Jim

A pregnant woman stands on line for food


A pregnant woman stands on line for food at a lighthouse Mission street outreach while her husband is out looking for work. After receiving food she asked me to pray for her baby & that she would not loose her home.. The news says that the economy is getting better? It sure doesn't look that way from our point of view. Donations down of food & money - while more then 2600 people each coming to our outreaches for food EACH week!

God bless you -- pastor Jim

A little boy helps his disabled grandmother collect food


A little boy helps his disabled grandmother collect food at a Lighthouse Mission weekly food outreach. He asked me if I had any crackers. Unfortunately we have been VERY low on food and funds & therefore did not have any to give. He told me he wanted them for his mothers birthday because she works very hard cleaning houses & he dissent see her very much...

Please pray for them.. God Bless you - Pastor JIm

A dad finds cloths for his children


During the daily street outreaches the Lighthouse mission also gives out gently used cloths. Here a very happy dad found coats, hats & even a car seat for his two small children.. I prayed with him to find a job and he thanked Jesus.. What a blessing to be able to share the love of Jesus

God bless you - Pastor JIm

Central Islip Street outreach - so many in need

Here is a quick video of the lighthouse Mission street outreach in Central Islip - In addition to giving away food in the name of Jesus we also offer gently used & new cloths to people in need. Someone donating cloths last week said that she gives the Lighthouse Mission all of her families old & "ratty" cloths for us to give to the poor. So I asked her: "Does Jesus teach us to open up our closet or kitchen pantry & pull out our worst items to give to the poor?>>or<< are we to offer Him our best?"...

- Pastor Jim

Riverhead wants the Lighthouse to stop giving out food ... again.




Once again the town of Riverhead wants to give the Lighthouse Mission the "boot" (see latest attached article link- its actually a really good article about Gods Lighthouse Mission) The sad thing is that there are so many people in need (1986 people every month get food at that single outreach!) Its mostly elderly people & woman with their children. Not just men (see photos & videos attached).

In addition, please do not write harsh letters or make angry telephone calls to the Supervisor of Riverheads office - I am confident that he is doing all that he can & is under a lot of preasure. Instead, lets pray for him & his team and offer our help in any way that we can. Lets encourage them in the Lord. Lets pray that God will open an even better location in Riverhead to serve the poor.

(2 Chron. 20:15 is the scripture we are leaning on)

God Bless you my friends, you are all in my prayers. - Pastor Jim
