Ministry Direction
We as a ministry see Isaiah 61 as our ministry direction. All that we are and all that we will be in the future will flow out of the words spoken by Isaiah.
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.” And they shall rebuild the old ruins, They shall raise up the former desolations, And they shall repair the ruined cities, The desolations of many generations. Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, And the sons of the foreigner Shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But you shall be named the priests of the Lord, They shall call you the servants of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, And in their glory you shall boast. Instead of your shame you shall have double honor, And instead of confusion they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they shall possess double; Everlasting joy shall be theirs. “For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery for burnt offering; I will direct their work in truth, And will make with them an everlasting covenant. Their descendants shall be known among the Gentiles, And their offspring among the people. All who see them shall acknowledge them, That they are the posterity whom the Lord has blessed.” I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its bud, As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, So the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations."
Isaiah 61 (Verses 1-11)
LHWE's Mission
LightHouse World Evangelism, Inc. (LHWE) was established in October 1997 as a non-profit 501(c)3 tax-exempt religious organization. Presently, our offices are located in Santa Rosa, California.
Pastor Matthew’s heart is to evangelize the lost. Due to his testimony of God's unfailing love and grace, Pastor Matthew travels the world and brings the message of purity, freedom, and emotional healing to the Body of Christ that are living in a pluralistic and materialistic society in the twenty-first century.
Pastor Matthew believes that his life calling is to raise up the young generation for the spiritual battle that is ahead, teaching and equipping the youth and young adults of the twenty-first Century to become all that God desires them to be by teaching them how to have their identity in Christ alone.
To accomplish this task, Pastor Matthew sought God’s wisdom. As Pastor Matthew has traveled the United States and the world, there have been several observations that he has seen emerging. First and foremost is the excitement and intrigue that our young people have with the occult. Satanism is on the move in our world today and comes packaged in many different forms. From the simplistic Halloween participation to the outright 666 and pentagrams printed on T-Shirts sold at many of our department stores. Satan is on the move seeking to destroy our youth (our future).
We have been assisting people out of the occult for ten years, and will be aggressively pursuing the enemy regarding the occult practices plaguing our youth. As our world is moving closer and closer to the return of Jesus Christ, we know that it is imperative to teach and equip young people to take up their rightful place and stand opposed to the work of darkness and everything that it stands for.
