Lighthouse Network

The Lighthouse Network is primarily a ministry of building relationships, established through worship & intercession -- and for the purpose of impacting the peoples of the Middle East for God's glory! Through united, persistent, corporate worship and intercession, we are convinced that the spiritual strongholds within the Middle East will be brought down and those who dwell in darkness will see the Light of the Lord!

Over the past several years we have focused our ministry on raising up a relational network of believers committed to worship and prayer from across the Middle East (nationals and missionaries). This network, which we call "the Net", is purposefully being developed to encourage and support those ministering in the Middle East as they give their hearts and lives for the salvation of the Arab and Jewish peoples dwelling in these lands. It is our desire to see this Net expanded to include people from many nations of the world who have a heart to see the peoples of the Middle East reached for the glory of the Lord.

We see this ministry involved in preparing for what the prophet Isaiah spoke about regarding a "Highway of Worship" that will be established from Egypt to Assyria (Iraq), including Israel - which will result in a blessing being released upon the whole earth! (Isaiah 19:23-25).

Those involved in this relational network are committed to growing in understanding and living by Four Foundational/Biblical Values. These Values may be summarized as:

  1. The Glory of God and the Finished Work of Christ
  2. Intimacy with God - Through Worship and Intercession
  3. Genuine Relationships with One Another - and Reconciliation
  4. Honoring, Experiencing, and Releasing the Holy Spirit's Power and Creativity

As these Four Values are embraced and blended together to create a strong foundation for ministry, we see the Net developing and growing through various ministry expressions, such as:

Creative Arts: The Net highly values the ministry of those gifted in creative arts. The Net believes that through "art" the creative ministry of the Holy Spirit is released, which results in people being delivered, healed, and restored so that they can walk in the fullness of their callings. Creative Arts are a powerful expression for evangelism and outreach and hold a very special place in the heart of God. The Net does not attempt to define all such creative expressions, but rather seeks to release them in agreement with Biblical values.
