News about Lighthouse Children’s Shelter

 

We received word from our colleagues, David and Janis Betzer (co-founders of LCS) that there is reason for celebration.  The City of Rustenburg has deeded 9 hectares (about 23 acres) to LCS!  Praise God for His provision!!

 

Our goal from the beginning of LCS was to develop the property LCS currently occupies into light industrial property and then move LCS over to the new property.  The light industrial property will help sustain the ministry of LCS on the new property.

 

LCS has been operating at full capacity since January, 2005 and has had to turn children away.  This new property will allow LCS to care for more children in crisis due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  It will also allow for other ministry development such as in caring for pregnant HIV+ mothers who have no other place to live.  An international church will also be built on this new property with David Betzer as pastor.

 

LCS is 4 years old and it was 3 years ago that we met with the Mayor of Rustenburg to request property for expansion.  This has been a long process, at times, seemingly a futile process.  God is the way maker!
