A steady light for children who need one.
We train children's ministry workers, run clubs and camps, and walk alongside underprivileged children across Southern Africa — teaching them who they are and what they were made for.
Four things we exist to do.
Everything Lighthouse Children Ministry does traces back to these founding objectives, set out in our constitution.
Train children's ministry workers
Raise awareness among Christian churches for the needs of children
Enable and improve the work among underprivileged children in Southern Africa
Teach children the purpose of life and their responsibilities
What that looks like on the ground.
Our secondary objectives shape the week-to-week and year-to-year work of the ministry.
Children's Clubs
Local, ongoing clubs run by our trained workers and volunteers in their own communities.
Royal Ranger Groups
Structured groups that build character, skills and Christian identity in children and teens.
Children & Youth Camps
Bible-centred camps that give children space to grow, belong and encounter faith directly.
Life Skills Training
Bible-centred guidance to help children develop toward their God-given potential and purpose.
Property & Facilities
Developing our properties to host Bible camps, church conferences, trainings and guest accommodation.
Alumni Care
Staying in touch with former trainees to support their ongoing individual and personal development.
