Help Houston after Harvey

All of you know of the recent devastation in Texas with Hurricane Harvey.  The loss is staggering and could be the costliest hurricane in our history!

People have lost…

  • their homes
  • their possessions
  • their lives

The mayor has established a curfew to limit the looting that is going on.  There is a major need for boats, for shelters, for food, for supplies – you name it, they need it!

We are going to send aid to our brothers and sisters there.  (Some of you who have been with the LIGHT! in our early days may remember Tom and Derong who live there now!).  Tom did post that they are OK.  Still, any help we can provide the community there would be surely appreciated!

If God is calling you to give please contact Lena at 262.789.8367 and we can gather all the offerings and donate as one group.  We’ll be channeling our efforts through DirectRelief.org.  Even if you don’t give through the LIGHT! please pray and give on your own as the need is great!

*** October 4th, 2026 *** 

Can you believe fall is here?  All Hallow’s Eve and Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  We wish you the wonderful opportunity to experience God’s beauty with the changing of the leaves and colors of His amazing creation!

Our prayer here at the LIGHT! is that you would experience God’s love and reflect the light of Jesus to all whom the Spirit brings into your life.  In excelsis Deo!

Please pray for the war that we are undertaking with Iran right now.  Pray for the soldiers who are in harms way and for the family of those who’ve fallen.  Pray that we would be able to achieve peace and be clear about why we are there.

Please continue to pray for our divided country.  May not only the Truth of Jesus prevail but also the “truth” of reality.  Helping Americans to focus more on solving problems using facts rather than debating even what the facts are is much more productive.  Let the politicians focus on *policy*.  We, as the Church, should focus on our *culture* and not depend on policy to define culture.  As we have said many times, “you can’t legislate morality.”  We can, however, be “winsome” as the Bible encourages us to be, and “win some” of our friends who are not yet believers to the faith!

Please pray for peace in the Middle East between Hamas and Israel.  We unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself.  We support non-Hamas affiliated Palestinians who want peace – they need humanitarian relief.  Israel should not be oppressing these folks.

Continue to pray for the Ukraine & Russian people suffering under Putin. Please pray for President Trump to stand against this aggression and to ensure the continued aid for the Ukrainians to keep fighting for their independence from the authoritarian regime of Vladimir Putin. 

*** Based on your feedback we will shift to hosting the services online even after the risk of COVID has lessened ***

Services
Our current focus is on learning more about “Welcoming the Stranger” – God’s heart for us as His people in how we show hospitality to those who are aliens in our land – status notwithstanding.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
