Homelessness: The Reality
You’re invisible, victimized, marginalized, people hide their kids from you, and it chips away at your heart. You’re dealing with a mixture of adverse childhood experiences, lack of education and job skills, wage disparity, serious behavioral and physical health concerns, alcohol and drug and cannabis addiction, human trafficking, mental illness, family dysfunction, young people aging out of the foster care system, lack of affordable housing, and so much more. Layer on COVID-19, with its reduction of services and additional job losses, stress, and isolation, and you have a recipe for disaster where the poor suffer most.
From Rock Bottom to Recovery

Where God Wanted Me To Be
When I volunteered at the cold weather shelter, I realized that I could make a greater impact on people’s lives. At that time I was feeling useless. When I was staying up all night making sure that the women felt safe and them telling me they felt safer with me there, I realized that was where God wanted me to be.
A story about the staff of Lighthouse, and their desire to do what God wants them to do, and be who He wants them to be.

God Blessed Me with the Lighthouse Mission: A Poem
Daily Lighthouse Mission Ministry encounters beautiful individuals encountering one of the worst days of their lives.

It is then that we marvel at the transformations that come as a result of His gift of grace, and your generous engagement through giving monthly through an online recurring gift.

You Built Up Neil’s Faith
Neil exclaims “Thank you, Jesus!” Neil moved from Trinidad to Washington, D.C. with his mom when he was young. In the 70s, drugs flooded the D.C. area and he was caught up in it. Throughout his life, Neil searched for the truth. “I always knew there was a God and I searched in a lot of different places,” he said. “I practiced Islam for about 27 years.”
