What A Wonderful Wednesday!

Wednesday was filled with fun crafts, yummy ice cream and a great movie! From tie-dyeing t-shirts to snake bubbles, everyone had a fabulous time during Flip-Flop! 

Movie night was a hit! We had an ice cream party and got to watch a fabulous movie. It was a warm night filled with laughter and fun. We are so thankful for the amazing weather we have continued to be blessed with! 

The Lord has been working in the lives of not only our retreat families but also our amazing volunteers and leadership! We are so thankful for every single one of these amazing people! God is good!

Terrific Tuesday!

The Lord has blessed us with more outstanding weather! Everyone had a blast cooling off in the pool during Flip-Flop yesterday. We have several fun crafts planned for today, which we are very so excited about! We are very thankful the Lord has allowed volunteers and families to connect so well this week! 

     

Italian Night was a hit! The warm evening was filled with the great aroma of garlic bread and lasagna. Our amazing amazing volunteers, who were rocking mustaches and all, served all eleven retreat families! We also entertained the families with our dance moves...at least we attempted to! 

The evening was topped off with a delicious dessert and an intense game of nine-square! 

We are confident that today will be filled with more fun! It is incredible to see God work in so many ways this week! Everyone is excited for what tonight will bring. Please continue to pray for our retreat families, volunteers, and leadership!

God's Sweet Promise!

God has blessed us with beautiful weather! We welcomed eleven families to the beach yesterday! It was a great day filled with fun and fellowship. The evening was topped off with a breathtaking rainbow surrounding our resort. We knew that was God's sign that He is omnipresent and in full control. 

We are so excited to see what today will bring! Please pray that connections will continue to be built and that the Lord allows us to grow through all we will learn and experience this week! 

We have a very special night planned for the retreat families...It's Italian Night time! Can't wait to pull out our best dance moves and grab those cheesy mustaches. It is going to be an amazing night! 

 

 

The Rain Can't Stop Us!

Yesterday we welcomed Retreat 5 volunteers to Gulf Place! Tropical storm Debby has been quite the game changer, but in no way will it stop these outstanding Lighthouse volunteers!

Today we are looking forward to the arrival of eleven retreat families! We are handing this week to the Lord, weather and all! We know that He has amazing things in store for Retreat 5. We know that He can write our story much better than we ever could!

Please continue to pray for traveling mercies for the retreat families as they continue their journey's to the Lighthouse!

What A Wonderful Wednesday!

Not only did we indulge ourselves with some delicious ice cream but we got to enjoy another fun day at Lighthouse! The day was beautiful and perfect for some crafts for the ladies and some quality pool bonding time for the boys. 

The cool, calm night air arrived just in time for the ice cream party. The evening was not only filled with full tummies, but a movie favorite to top it off just right.

Most importantly the Lord has been ever present during this past week. This has been displayed through the close-nit bonds the retreat families and volunteers have formed in only a scarce number of days. It is apparent that a love has been formed that will last much longer than this week.

Please continue to pray for our retreat families, volunteers and leadership! We could not do this without your gracious prayers and support. We can't wait to see what God has planned next for Retreat 4! 

Hit The Ground Running!

What a great week we have had so far! Monday all seventeen families arrived here at the beach. We might be breaking a Lighthouse record with that one!

Yesterday we kicked off Flip-Flop! Everyone was pumped to lather-up with sunscreen and hit the pool! We had a fabulous time serving the retreat families at Italian Night. It was a jam-packed day filled with laughter, awesome dance moves and some silly mustaches! 

We are so excited to see what today will bring! God is Good! 

Fantastic Friday Was As Awesome As It Gets!

We're not sure we could have crammed any more fun & merriment into a day than we did this Friday! Imagine a day that includes great food, sunny skies, beach fun, a baptism, sky lanterns, a dance party and even a wedding!

Yep, you heard us right! One of our retreat couples got married last night on the beach!! That was a first for Lighthouse and we feel honored to have been included!

 We could try to tell you about everything that happened but, as anyone who has been to Lighthouse can tell you, describing what happens there generally falls flat in comparison to the reality of experiencing it! So we'll let the pictures do our talking...

Now that we've said our See Ya Later's and are looking to a new set of families and fun just ahead, we want to urge each of you to come on down. Come on over!

Come on in to the Lighthouse... you'll be amazed by how it changes you!

Thanks, too, for North Point Ministries' Transit Service Line teams for joining us and showing the families so much love. We hope it was a rewarding experience for you — we loved having you!
