Ministries

The Lighthouse Baptist Mission had its beginnings in 1997 when the Lord gave Brother Joseph Ziel a burden to start a nursing home ministry. The first nursing home under this outreach was Eastchester Nursing Home. About two years later, the Lord added Pelham Parkway Nursing Home. In 2001, the brethren discovered East Haven Nursing Home, and soon after it was also to become part of the outreach, as the church was graciously received there. Finally, in February of 2002, the church was blessed unexpectedly. Representatives of Morris Park Nursing Home contacted us and requested that we minister to the residents there as well. Currently, the church visits each of these nursing homes at least once a month. The gospel is preached and the saints encouraged in the Lord at every service.

The outreach of the Lighthouse Baptist Mission also includes Bridges Youth Facility and Horizon Youth Facility. The Lord opened these doors after almost four years of attempts to go into such a field, and has tremendously blessed our efforts. The ministry was established at Bridges first, and Horizon came several months later. Up to five brethren at a time visit every month. Each service at these facilities is a blessed opportunity to reach young people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
