Most of you know that my husband and I, along with 2 close friends, started a ministry called Epping Lighthouse Ministries. Our Mission Statement is to demonstrate the unconditional love of God to our community by building relationships, meeting needs, and sharing the truth of the Gospel that transforms lives.
A description is that we are a non-denominational, not-for-profit family oriented organization, whose purpose is to assist people of all ages to come to know Christ, and grow in their walk with Him. This is done through a weekly Bible Kids Club, Teen programs, and special events throughout the year for children, famiies and adults.
We started last year by opening a teen youth center, called The Porch, in the middle of our town. We had a friend from church build a porch inside, and we had it set up with a ping-pong table, foosball tables, a pool table and a flat screen tv. We had a local organization donate 5 brand new laptops, and we were so excited to see how it would progress. We had great success in the different clubs and meetings that we had, including one salvation and many other opportunities to share God's love as a direct result of The Porch.
Unfortunately, our landlords have decided to rent our space to someone else and are taking it right out from under us. We realize that we could really push things legally, and most likely be able to continue on there. However, we don't know that we want to sign another year's lease with people like this.
I am asking for my friends from all over the world to please be in prayer for us right now. We want to follow God 100%. We want to serve our community. We want to please God in everything we do. We KNOW that God is in control, and that God is certainly more powerful than any human.
Thank you so much for praying.
I know you will.
I am trusting that this mighty God we serve is able to do way more than we can ever hope or imagine!

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." I have no doubt that this will work out better than you could even imagine. Praying for you all.
