Two longtime Lighthouse guests are taking brave next steps toward independence.
Kevin and James will soon move into newly built apartments at Gospel Village, a permanent, Christian supportive housing community in Lakeland.

For years, Kevin (pictured here) stayed at Lighthouse while rebuilding stability and connecting with God. Along the way, he joined the volunteer program and encouraged others to pursue recovery and growth.
James has lived at Lighthouse since 2023 while working toward housing goals and long-term stability.
“This place has been a blessing,” James shared. “They helped me get back on my feet.”Their move reflects what happens when a community comes together over time—churches, donors, staff, volunteers, and community partners all helping people move from survival toward stability and purpose.
We thank God for partners like Gospel Village who help create meaningful next steps for people rebuilding their lives.
