What we do...
Evangelization work "Church on the go"
Free Vocational Training at the Lighthouse community center
Free Vocational Training at the Lighthouse community center
One thing we teach our youth and kids is to practice what they learn about the word of God In any opportunity, we are sending our youth out to reach people for Jesus, especially to the mountains in places that nobody wants to go and they leave a. bible on each house they visit, talk about Jesus and share God's unconditional love with them. This is impacting lives as God commanded us to do this ministry called " church on the go".

Humanitarian Aid

Humanitarian Aid
Together with evangelization work we we always offer humanitarian help to individuals and families in Need, like clothes, shoes, pampers, crutches, wheelchairs, help for medication, cream for the pain, food, school supplies, we had fixed houses, built baths and installed new pipes to people living in extreme poverty to help them improve their quality of life. We believe that espiritual instructions need to be accompanied with essential things needed to live with dignity. Specially the kids and elderlies.
Bible studies
Humanitarian Aid
We do, promote & support Bible Studies, specially for children in those neighborhoods where there are not churches. We provide Biblical material for kids, crafts, Bible pamphlets, and Christian articles. Our youth love to go out and gather children in the streets to teach them Bible stories and interact with them. We provide christian gifts to those who attend the whole year in the local Bible Studies in the town of Paraíso and since then, we have increased the number of kids attending to the Bible studies in the local churches because we incentivize them with Christian books or Backpacks with school supplies and a Bible once a year.
Spiritual growth
Spiritual growth
We take this very seriously because spiritual growth is necessary for an integral growth. Providers without transformation are limited. They need to know about Jesus, grow in the Spirit, praise Him, maintain their life and educational instruction. We are promoting spiritual development that will make them dependent from God but independent in other areas and will be ready to preach but also to stand firm in front of the life adversities.
Mission trips
Spiritual growth
We do local work here in Florida but also love to do mission trips to Paraiso D.R. That is our main mission field. Every year we go to do evangelism with humanitarian activities and too work with special kids, elderly that need prayer, to preach in the little local churches, organize crusades in the streets, distribute food to families in poverty, fix roofs, paint churches, do Bible studies, serve with the youth, and worship at the Lighthouse Center. We also distribute humanitarian help and bring sport equipment and do sport activities with local teams. Volunteers and missionaries are the backbone of this organization and because we know the needs, we can organize custom mission trips.
Our elderlies

Our elderlies
We provide help to the elderlies and try hard to supply wheelchairs, crutches, cans, pampers, creams and help for them to buy medication when they don't have the resources. We gather with them and provide gifts and make them feel loved and not lonely specially to those living by themselves because their families already left. We sing with them, pay and present them the plan of salvation when is needed. We love to hear their advice and they wait for us as soon as they know we are in town. Their quality of life is important for us and we must know them by name!
Our youth
Our elderlies
Our elderlies
Youth had an important part of our efforts because they are the one called to lead the new generation to come. They will soon form families and they will teach them what they know. So, we offer them a variety of programs, opportunities to grow and serve their communities. We just graduated in 2024 our first group at the lighthouse center and those are the one instructing the kids, going out to identify. the need, providing hometown help and doing evangelization work outside in the town and the mountains for the glory of God. We offer them vocational classes , like leadership, discipleship, and more to develop youth to impact lives for church and protect the natural resources around them. They are important to the new generation through their actions.
Our children
Our elderlies
Communitarian work
We also work with the children visiting poor neighborhoods to provide humanitarian help and talk about Jesus. For us is very important to teach the word at early age and give them the opportunity to know how god love them no matter what their circumstances are.We play but we teach at the same time and we have seen them grow during their 17 years serving in Paraiso Dominican Republic their townhome in which they were running barefoot. So we know exactly what they feel. And always bring with us candies and little toys to bring a smile to them when we get them together for a bible study, activity or competitions.
Communitarian work
Communitarian work
Is part of our youth activities during. the whole year, they work as volunteers to clean the streets of their hometown to serve food when we have classes at the lighthouse center, they take part of the missions, workships, playing an instrument, singing or preaching because we have different talents that we encourage them to develop. They are part of our mission activities, for them to grow and relate with our vision. They do recycling work at the beach and rivers and because we teach them values and morals they voluntarily respond when they need help, or notifying us when they need us to support them. It is important to motivate them to serve their community and love their people like God loves them.
Supporting sports
We support all of the s ports team in Paraiso D.R. Volleyball, baseball, football, tenis, or nay other because it is so important to maintain the children and young adult busy and out of the streets. It is also a great way to teach them discipline and how to live a healthy live...the old ones use to teach the little ones in their first steps and they finally chose their f favorite sport. We have provided tons of sport equipments thanks to our volunteers and mission team visiting Paraiso every year.
Lighthouse community center
This is our home.The home God promised us since the very beginning and is God's house for the town of Paraiso. This place where the youth consider their house and they receive spiritual instructions to grow in the spirit, where they can find God's ;ove to pursue their dreams and receive encouragement. And also where those who can't afford college are going to receive a free vocational training to help them to be independent financially to be able to provide for their future families. And to impact the life of others for the glory of God. Our goal is that every youth or adult who learn something at the center at some point teaches others about God, help improve the lives and always do the best for the community, the lighthouse is actually lighting lives of alot of people that were living In the darkness.
