The LightHouse has been truely blessed by the people that the Lord has brought to us to work with. Two of our very dearest and most dedicated workers who have been with us the longest will be retiring from the ministery this month. Bel who has been with us for 9 years, since we first opened LightHouse Recreio, will be leaving to take care of her mother since her father has recently passed away. Bel has worked in the area of the community assistance, scoping out the different homes and searching for the families in need. She was also our house director making sure that everying ran well, especially the kitchen! With many children that were mal nurished, Bel always had someone to take care of. We love Bel and are so thankful for the love and dedication that she has shown throughout these 9 years with LightHouse.She came into the LightHouse as a very quiet and meek person as a lamb. But the Lord has turned her into a bold lioness as she worked with us to save many lives of children that were lost and in need.
Maristele is the other worker that is completing 8 years of work with the LightHouse. She also is leaving to care for her elderly mother that needs her. Maristele came to us with a crushed spirit, had been very wounded by the church that she had served so faithfully before she came to the LightHouse. As she worked with us these years we have seen God do a beautiful healing and growth in her personal ministry as a teacher. We will miss both her and Bel very much.. They will forever live in our hearts and the hearts of the children that they have touched.
We praise God for the next generation of kids. We have 6 of our own kids, now youth, who are now leaders running the house with us. Five of them have been with us since they were small kids. A true leader trains others to take his place once he is gone. Glory to God the work continues!

Pray with us that the Lord will bless Bel and Maristele for all they have done. And that the youth with us will fulfill their calling as they serve the Lord at the LightHouse.
