Shining the Light!

The Opelousas Lighthouse Mission strives to meet homeless men at the crossroads in their life. Our main objective is to equip our residents with the tools to become self-sufficient and to become productive members of society again. We are not merely here to provide three meals a day and a place to sleep, but aim to enrich the lives of the men in a way that impacts them for the rest of their life. I believe that this can only be accomplished by the love of God.

Garden Project!

We are extremely excited here at the mission because our garden project is in full effect. Southern University plays a huge role in the success of the project. They have provided us with the know-how and also the plants and seeds for the garden. The project serves many purposes which assist in providing the skills necessary for the men to become self-sufficient. The garden proves to strengthen the work ethic of the residents, build teamwork skills, and also allows for fellowship time. The project also paves the way for the community to walk right in and get involved in the awesome work that is being done here. Also, we are currently selling the produce from the garden to anyone who is interested.
