One sunny Sabbath afternoon in March 2018, a walk up the hill where I lived in Baltimore Maryland, would become the moment of inspiration for a Christian school. Though I quickly dismissed the idea that afternoon, God affirmed the vision at 2am the next morning.  I was humbled by this noble calling, terrified of the immense responsibility, and I didn’t know that God would send me to Idaho to accomplish this vision.

August 2018, after teaching public school for over 11 years, I quit public-school teaching to homeschool my children in Bible driven education knowing that I had many educational and spiritual principles to relearn. For the next two years, God homeschooled me and revealed to me His blueprint of education and the vision to prepare “an army of youth He can use” in the times ahead.

I attempted to begin the tedious process of opening a school in Baltimore and on all my three (3) attempts the Lord said “wait.”   By March 2020, I finalized the educational framework including the philosophy, vision and mission for school. Once completed, in November 2020, following a direct Abraham like command, “Go to Idaho,” I packed up everything and headed to Idaho, a place I’ve never been and to people I didn’t know.

While in Idaho, the next 5 years would be a different kind of training and now seven (7) years later, in 2025, the Lord is ready to fulfill His vision of opening His school

Since that afternoon walk in 2018, the in between stories are full of the miracles of God and how He worked out every challenge. The in between stories are full of God-given dreams with colorful revelation and clear direction from God. The in between stories are full of moments of courage, of fear, of struggle and mostly of faith.

The under workings of God’s hand as He prepared the way for Lighthouse Learning Center: Learning for Eternity, INC to become a 501(3)c entity getting ready for operation in the upcoming school year 2025-2026, is a powerful testament of God’s gigantic and eternal plan. The invitation to hear the complete details is always open to you if you contact me.

Parents, as you consider enrolling your child into Lighthouse Learning Center; prayerfully, seek God’s plan for your child and if He directs you to entrust him or her to us, know that you are participating in something grand and well-designed by God for your family. This is not just about education, it is also about eternity.

The students who open our doors on our first morning of operation will become pioneers of Lighthouse Learning Center. They will partner with us to pave the way for future students, and we are thankful that you parents will answer the call of God to entrust your children into our care.

May God richly bless you and your family, and may God bless Lighthouse Learning Center: Learning for Eternity, INC, in all that we set our hands and make us perfect and fruitful in every good work (Col 1: 10).

Lighthouse Learning Center: Learning for Eternity, is an independent, self-supporting private Christian high school guided by Seventh Day Adventist principles but not governed by the General Conference of Seventh Day Adventists.

Yours in Christ,
