FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

“ We are blessed !”
We have been busy these past few weeks packing boxes , making the move into our new facility and getting ready for the first day of school on August 24th . Ninety-three children will be starting that day !
I cannot begin to tell you how very blessed we are with an abundance in every area of the LLH . From financial provision to volunteer man-power , God has provided all of our needs ... sometimes before we even know we have a need ! In 2010 , as we began raising funds for the expansion project , I felt the Lord gave me the following scripture . Deuteronomy 28:8 has been a promise I personally have held on to as we began the process of growth and change . Certain parts of the scripture align with different parts of our ministry .
“ The Lord will command a blessing on you ( LLH ) in your storehouses , ( Operating , Designated accounts ) and in all to which you set your hand ( our Capital Campaign ) and He will bless you in the land ( our new land at 36th & Yale ) which the Lord your God is giving you .” ( our new building ) Deuteronomy 28:8
He has been faithful to this promise , and I know it is because He has been working through YOU ! You have blessed us with day to day operating funds to keep the bills paid on time and salaries met . You have continued to give to the building fund as we had much needed “ add backs ” which were scaled back in order to get the project started . You have volunteered your time in the classroom , at fund raising events and for special projects . You have stepped up and stepped in to make this happen . As we have said in the past , we can only do what we do because of the support we receive from the community . God working through you has enabled the Little Light House to keep the doors open for over 40 years , and provide these much needed educational and therapy services to amazing children . THANK YOU for the part you have played . We want you to see this amazing facility which you have made possible . I hope to see you September 7th at 12:30 p . m . for the Dedication !
