A Light for All Nations
Have you ever seen a lighthouse up close?
For those who find themselves stuck out at sea—while winds are howling, waves are crashing, and darkness is blacker than black—a lighthouse can mean the difference between life and death. They aren’t just cute landmarks, but important navigational guides and essential beacons of hope.
