Most of the people who attend daily Lighthouse Mission street outreaches are regular people who are just struggling to get from paycheck to paycheck. However, some are truly homeless with many problems such as alcohol, drugs, & mental illness. Our goal is, of course, to help these people with food, clothes but most importantly the Gospel of Jesus- so their lives can be changed. Then help them get plugged into a Christian program that can continue to minister & help them. Sadly, this poor homeless veteran that Pastor Jim is praying for in this photo would not let Pastor Jim help him get into a Christian recovery program & he later died of alcohol poisoning on the side of a busy road. Sadly this happens way to often. "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few" - Jesus
