We do this not with weapons of mass destruction or by forcefully converting others to our will, but we evangelize the lost through the same methodology the Christ himself utilized the principles of love and charity. The Lighthouse seems to follow Christ example by way of changing the culture through love. Hirsch – Apostolic Environment The Lighthouse

When things got difficult Lighthouse stayed there, even times when shots were actually fired around the workers and pastors. Growing up with the office of this ministry in the church that my grandfather pastored was a privilege. The main portion of the Lighthouse Ministry is Heaven Train. “Lighthouse Ministry is on a mission to help the youth of Cleveland, one neighborhood at a time” (About, 2018). The founder battled for years with the Nazarene Church to recognize the Heaven Train as a church because it did not have a building. A description of what volunteers do with Heaven Train is “the morning team will follow the bus to three of the project sites where volunteers entertain and love the 700+ children as they wait to board the bus, hear a bible teaching, and receive a meal” (Heaven Train, 2018).

The Holy Spirit gives liberates and brings new life it unites, encourages and brings hope to a world pledged by darkness.
