Mission Statement

Our mission is to develop civil societies, and promote self-sufficiency in local communities and guide humanitarian relief efforts. We aim to bridge the gap between emergency help and long-term development by delivering material assistance and managing projects that help communities help themselves long after the supplemental aid disappears. We are dedicated to serving the most vulnerable members of society, those often in greatest need, such as the poor, children, orphans, elderly, disabled, war refugees and victims of disasters. The call to action requires that we subpoena the consciousness of our leaders to reinstall the moral rudder of days gone by and to bring forth greater prosperity for all mankind.

Description

Lighthouse Covenant International design and teach theTransform Your Mind (TYM) Interactive Learning Initiative in the Philadelphia Prison. It is the only comprehensive behavioral program offered in the Philadelphia Prison System, which starts in the prison, and walks participants through the difficult transition to become a productive member of their community. It does this by providing support processes and services in areas critical to successful development and re-entry such as: housing, employment, individual and family therapy, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, education, spiritual guidance, mentoring, transition skills development, advocacy, and re-entry planning and coaching. Our participants come to us having experienced an assault on their self-esteem most often in the early formative years, which has resulted in dysfunctional behaviors being played out in ongoing frustration and failure in their lives. Our job is to uplift and restore their potential to become productive members of society upon release.
