Highlights at Lighthouse

Highlights:

We now have a 24/7 free LINKLine 877 562-2565 and 11 care managers who provide lifesaving case management linking those struggling with addiction, detox, and acute psychiatric problems find sound Christian care when situations permit or the best secular treatment available. We are getting calls from all over the US and Focus on the Family calls us (or gives out our number 5-8 x / week). This is an incredibly unique service and we are also in the process of putting together a comprehensive outpatient database as well.
We have been invited to go to Iraq by their Minister of Health and are taking a team of four to educate the church and the mental health providers in northern Iraq be more skilled in helping with all the suffering that is going on there.
Unique involvement in Katrina Relief efforts that will be chronicled in the Christmas PARADE Magazine in the Sunday papers!
Our great writer, Joan Esherick, produces a great newsletter twice every month.
I could go on and on!
Great things are planned in 07 and we would like your help.

There are many ways to help that are not financial giving, and I ask that you to take part in those as they will also benefit you and those around you.

Obviously, financial support is important as well, if you feel led, to help us help those who struggle to help themselves or who society often neglects, forgets, or is unsure how to help. We extend tangibly extend God’s love and grace and in very unique and specific ways and serve as Lighthouses of hope and refuge for those experiencing stormy times. The need is great and we do make a difference. You will also benefit in knowing you are having an acute lifesaving, eternal impact on people’s lives.

Thanks for your consideration,

Karl Benzio, MD

Director, Lighthouse Network
