Lighthouse Christian Camp Ministries is a faith based work of God, the primary goal of which is to bring the Gospel of Christ to needy and disadvantaged children. There are actually three branches within the organization.
The first is the Lighthouse Christian Camp, which provides week long summer camps, free of charge, to both boys and girls and also hosts monthly weekend retreats for the area children. Another outreach of the Lighthouse Christian Camp is the yearly Christmas parties that the camp holds, one for girls and one for the boys. These Christmas parties give these children the ability to get gifts to give to their family and friends on Christmas. Throughout it all the goal of the camp is to teach the children about the Love of Jesus Christ as well as the purpose and place of each child in God’s plan.
The second area is the Lighthouse Boys and Girls Ranch. This outreach provides Christian homes for abandoned, orphaned or other children who do not have anyone to care for them. While living in these homes, the children are taught a good work ethic and a sense of motivation and God’s plan for their lives are instilled in them.
The Sing for Joy Widows Home is the last ministry covered in the umbrella. The name comes from the Bible verse Job 29:13, and the goal is to allow widows who may have otherwise lived alone and felt unloved and lonely a place to call their own. While at the widows home they have the opportunity to both be cared for, if something were to befall them, as well as being able to help and care for others. This includes the children that come to the camp, as the widows are encouraged to take an active role with the children, both during the summer camp weeks and throughout the year.
