Meet "Lighthouse Ministries"

And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.

Matthew 10:1 ESV

On September 9th, 2019 there was a chapel service at a private university in Waxahachie, Texas. On that day, the Holy Spirit encountered hundreds of young adults in a variety of ways. Some were healed physically, some delivered from demons, and some heard God speak for the first time. In the midst of God moving in the service, not ushered by an emotional altar call, but by a challenge to every believer in the room. The same challenge that was asked of the prophet Isaiah, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” (Isaiah 6:8) hundreds responded and said yes to the challenge.

In the midst of this, one young man felt God call him to steward a ministry. Something that was in his heart since he first fell in love with Jesus. Although he desired to start it in his youth, God had other plans. That night God gave that young man a vision of a lighthouse. The lighthouse would represent what God was about to do through him and many others to come. To be a light in dark places, to those who believe in God and those who do not. That symbol would become the founding idea for a ministry that took faith, action, and prayer to see come about. Over the course of weeks, others joined in his vision and prayed to see God reach the lost.

On November 23rd, 2019 that young man and one other brother drove out to the Trinity Groves bridge and began to preach the gospel in 40 degree weather. They prayed for the youth, gave water to the needy, and even prayed for a woman entangled in witchcraft. From then on, the ministry grew and developed an online presence, loved protesters and police officers alike, and supplied needs to the homeless. God has been faithful to His word, and has used them as a lighthouse to help those in need.

Now they embark on a new adventure, educating those wanting to learn about the scriptures, giving explicit interviews with different members of the body of Christ, and supporting missionaries both domestically and internationally. They strive to spread the love, hope, and truth of Jesus Christ to each and everyone who would listen. Thank you for taking the time to learn about our journey so far. We are honored to be part of your day and hopefully your life. This is our story and it is only the beginning.
