LIGHTHOUSE PRINCIPLES
A lighthouse
is a tower or building that is designed to emit light from a lamp and used as
an aid to navigation for ship captains at sea. Lighthouses mark dangerous
coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, safe entries to harbors, and can also
assist in aerial navigation. Their purpose was highly regarded and many a
captain paid dearly for ignoring them. However, some greedy business men used
to build their own lighthouses on false shores in order to wreck the ship and
ransack it. These were false lighthouses and it took the focus and wisdom of
the captain to distinguish between the false lighthouses and the true ones. At other
times, these greedy guys would attack the keeper of the lighthouse and switch
the lamp off leading to shipwrecks. Instead of lighthouses, they would be ‘darkhouses.’

We too are captains
piloting our ships in the sea of life where storms and rough seas are not
uncommon. We need values built on principles that will lead us safely to the
shore and avoid life wreckage. There are so many lighthouses being promoted
today that are false and lead to shipwreck and frustration. We at AYES want to
help the young to identify the real lighthouse principles that will shine brightly
as they sail through life’s sea.
Through Jesus’
Operation Empower or Big Joe, we do hope to empower students in schools and
colleges to draw out from themselves the great power that God has put into them
and be makers of a difference. Contact us at Youth Secretariat at Basilica
Grounds in Nairobi and book in advance to avoid disappointment.
