The primary mission of Lighthouse Prison Ministries can be summed up by the words of our Lord in Luke 4:18: “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.” We believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the only message that can permanently transform individuals and provide the strength and character needed to lead a productive life. The Bible says that “if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things become new.” (II Corinthians 5:17 )

Our Values: 1. RESPECT for the dignity and goodness of each person as a unique creation. This organization will demonstrate flexibility in its dealings with those we serve. 2. RESPECT for the capacity of each of us to embrace the challenge of human existence. We encourage those we serve to take responsibility for their own lives; we try to empower by assisting them to make informed choices for themselves. 3. A FIRM CONVICTION that out of poverty comes creativity, new life and growth. We reach out, recognizing that the poor are not in need of 'fixing', 'saving' or 'rescuing'. Growth comes from journeying with those we serve, not in doing for them. 4. The importance of EDUCATION as the key to change. Education takes many forms. Those who are malnourished most of their lives often have special needs; secondary school, university, apprenticeships, as well as special education for severe learning disabilities such as deafness and blindness are all strategies we pursue.
