Lighthouse Centre Project Progressing
30 October 2006
     
  Children listening to a story  
     

In Asia, the Lighthouse Centre team is hard at work to make their dream of strengthening the family a reality. The project manager is settling back into the city after a time of home assignment, and the team hopes to open the children's library and family centre by spring 2007.

Ministry Already Underway

Both local and expatriate workers are already ministering in different ways to strengthen the Asian family:
  • mobile library programs
  • parenting classes
  • marriage and pre-marriage classes
  • dating classes

The team is trusting God to provide funding for the building and for the remaining books for the library. So far, there are 2000 books in the library collection, almost half of the 5,000 they would like to have on the shelves when it opens.

Pray

  • for wisdom to create administrative procedures and policies
  • for good working relationships with the team and local believers
  • for funding for the building and books
  • for God to use the ministry to build strong, Christian families
  • for the five couples in the pre-marriage class to learn to communicate, respect boundaries, and not fall into temptation
  • for ability to communicate truth clearly in the national language
