MINISTRY SUGGESTIONS
Here are a few suggestions for Christian ministries we need to get started or link with existing ones ASAP.
A Christian Youth League -- This would be a group of young people who stand for the Lord Jesus Christ. They would support young people as they face persecution for their Christian stand. It should have a free membership. This membership should be made up of Christ-centered, Bible-based, born-again, Spirit-filled youth 13 to 25 years of age. The older youth will be a support team for the younger one. The older youth will be big brother or big sister to the younger ones. It should have a way for Christian Youth to communicate with one another. It should have a blog and forum. It should have a chat room. It should have materials Christian Youth use to equip themselves for ministry. It should have a toll free number that youth in crisis could use to get help. There should be a 911 type program for the youth. It should be operated by young people who have "been there and done that." This should be available none stop.
A Rivers of Living Water Dynasty -- This is a self-contained program the administrator of this website has been working on for years. This would include an International Headquarters for International Lighthouse Ministries with Regional Headquarters throughout the world. If you are interested in an all inclusive program for the community, my contact number is 620-625-4017 or email me at hwright20@cox.net.
A Family Recovery Ministry -- This ministry would seek to bring family together. It would support a Christ-centered Bible-based value system for the family. It would encourage a family altar where all members participate. It would produce a family devotional that could be understood by all members of the family. It would encourage family involvement with one another with play time, work time, share time and care time activities. It would provide godly counseling to help family members fulfill their responsibilities to one another. It would encourage families to get involved in a Christ-centered Bible-based Christian fellowship.
A Prison Ministry -- This ministry would seek to help prisoner to reform and become useful citizens. It would help them to get right with God, with others and themselves. It would encourage Christian prisoners to evangelize non-Christians. It would support their family members with food, clothing, pay bills, provide work with pay opportunities, provided medical care when needed, provide free counselling and any other needs they cannot do on their own.
A Home Schooling League -- This ministry would provide free material to Home Schooling families. It would help them develop their whole body, soul and spirit for the glory of God and the well-being of future generations. It would include adult education as well as children and youth. It would include specialized education for pastors and other Christian workers as listed in Ephesians 4:11-16.
A Children for Christ Club -- This would be a club for children 5-12 who could join free of charge. It should have a division for all boys and one for all girls. It would help them learn the Christian values that would help them develop Christian character. It would help them get right with God, with others and with themselves. It would teach them how to cooperate with others. It would help them to respect their parents and other God-given authorities. It would teach them in precept and example as to how to resist peer pressure that leads them away from the Lord Jesus Christ. It should have means for children to interact with other Christian children in a family setting. It would have community project they could do. They would have rewards for doing their projects.
An African Missionary Society to the Nations -- Africa has had missionaries come from America and Europe to bring them the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ with great sacrifice to themselves and their families. Now it is time for Africa to send missionary out to the nations. This missionary society would support missionaries they send to the ends of the earth. It would include an education program for their missionaries and their families that would prepare them for the work God called them to do. All needs of the missionaries and their families would be supplied through this society. Before the missionary is sent they would learn every thing they could about the host county. No age limit will be placed on the sent out missionary. Each candidate for a mission field would be examined on a person to person basis. Only seasoned missionaries would be allowed to set on the examining board that determines the placement of each missionary. No missionary will be sent to a field without a God-given call to the field in question. The missionary must show a Christ-centered, born-again, Spirit-filled life in precept and example. Each missionary must be a member of the society and be willing to be under it rules of conduct.
A Nursing Home Ministry -- Nursing Home residents are forgotten by society, in some instances even their families, to long. These are the people who made great sacrifice for their family, their community and their world. They desire much better than they are receiving. This ministry would help nursing home residents with all their needs. It would set up a system that would care for these people in a more humane way. They would be treated with respect. They would be given a reason to live. Alternative health would be provided for them. They would be given a health-enhancing diet that would build up their immune system. When well enough, they would be placed in an assist care program. Each person would be treated on an person to person basis. They would be taken out of a nursing home setting and placed in a family setting as soon as possible. Families would be encouraged to care for their parents and other family member's need in a loving, caring environment at home. Christian values would be stressed. People mistreated in nursing homes, their family and their friends would be empowered to sue for damages.
A Relief Program for Persecuted Christians and Their Families -- Persecuted Christians would not die for their faith unnoticed. This ministry would set up a hall of fame for these people much like Hebrews 11. This would be published for the world to see. The families of these Christians would be supported with relief programs that take care of their daily needs for as long as the need remains. When possible they would not only be "given a fish but would also be taught how to fish." Those who persecute Christians would be exposed internationally through all available means. When means are available, the persecutor will be brought to justice and made to make restitution to the offended family.
A Church Recovery Ministry -- From the beginning of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has taken abuse form the world, the flesh and the devil. Many have "departed from the faith and given heed to doctrines of demons." The purpose of International Lighthouse Ministries are to unite in cooperation with the True and Living God as recorded in 2 Chronicles 7:14. When the Church does this God will do the rest.
A Moral Recovery Ministry -- This is accomplished by getting people to accept God's absolute standards rather that man's relative standards of right and wrong. This ministry encourages Christians to get involved in every area of the social process. They need to "occupy till" Jesus returns. Christian need to let their light. They need to get serious about winning the loss at any cost with the proclamation of the cross. When God is respected the moral climate will change accordingly.
A Nations for Jesus League -- This ministry uses all means to win some. It is a league of God's redeemed people who are following the Great Commission to get the Gospel established worldwide.
A Christian Prayer Chain -- This is the most important thing a Child of God can do. This should be around the clock. Membership is free. All people who love God and their neighbor are invited to join this group. There should be many of these groups worldwide linked together on this website.
A Missionary Support Team -- This is a team who are willing to build building, do plumbing, do power systems and all other things that are not covered by the missionary societies. They do such diverse things as distribute food, care for the sick, pull teeth, teach people to read, supply Bibles, give out Bible tracts, defend Christian against their persecutors and such like. This is a place where people group together in teams to do the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. All of this is done free of charge.
A Health for Christ League -- To do the work of the Lord Jesus Christ, we need to be at our best mentally, spiritually, emotionally and physically. New ways are being advanced to accomplish this with great success. This calls for a radical change in our lifestyles, our eating habits, and a number of other things that are killing us before our time. This league will do research and development in this upcoming revelation that has enlighten many people. This will radically change the way we look at health care.
An Information Network for Honesty in the Media -- It is one thing to have freedom of the press. It is quite another thing to have freedom to molest. This network will be through out the world. It will work through the internet and other medias to "real in" the run-away media that does not tell the news, it "makes the news." The truth is greater than lies. This network will function on many fronts. It will be join together in such a way that if attack it can defend itself. Not only this, if one get "blown out of the water" the others can repair the breach while still caring on its work. A Group of Christian Benefactors -- This group provides the financial support to make all the above happen.
