”The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.“ –Luke 4:18-19 (KJV)
The Light Bible Ministries is seven weeks into our 2024–2025 Bible program. After the exciting completion of our homeless project and renovations this summer, we launched our newest ministry, which has taken off powerfully by the grace of God.
Our Spiritual Mentor Program reaches out to the incredible, amazing children in the projects, ages 6–18. This new ministry aims to disciple each child consistently every week through personal Bible study, helping them grow in their knowledge of Jesus. Our mentors also take the children to church once a week, becoming their spiritual guides.
Once a month, we hold a large outreach event in the projects where we engage with the Word of God through worship, games, puppet shows, juggling, balloon shows, and more.
Our other Bible activities have also flourished by the grace of God at our center, where our new students are learning biblical truths through special programs that include Abeka school readiness, Bible art and performance, nature day, gardening, Gospel puppet shows, and our reading buddies program. God has been so gracious, allowing all the moms to come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. During our women’s Bible studies, we are learning how to fall in love with Jesus.
Our homeless outreach is gradually evolving. We conduct daily Bible studies that are bringing tremendous change to the community through the love of Jesus. We have partnered with a nearby grocery store that hires women in our program, helping them work towards stable housing. From Tuesday to Friday, we pray for, feed, and provide food, clothing, and other necessities to the homeless. More importantly, we share the gospel, and many homeless women are coming to the saving knowledge of Jesus. Knowing Jesus and overcoming homelessness means so much to our ministry, making consistent Bible study at the center vital. God is so good.
We praise the Lord that The Light Bible Ministries is growing in a way that is only possible with God. Thank you to the many volunteers and supporters who are invested in this Kingdom work and diligently pray and serve through our ministry to enhance the Kingdom of God.
