I'm looking to pass on LightHousesOfPrayer.org

[Jeremiah]

I bought the LightHousesOfPrayer.org domain a while back for our church who had a large focus on it. It hasn't really been used and I don't see it being used in the near future. I don't want to just let it expire to be picked up by a squatter. Does your church have a Lighthouses of Prayer ministry and need a domain name?

Jeremiah -

Awesome invitation. I don't know if I've heard that phrase, "LighthousesofPrayer" ... is it a movement, or a ministry, etc?, or just something you guys came up with?

[Jeremiah]

The jist of being a Lighthouse is praying for those around you in a structured way. The purpose of a site would be to provide a place for people to share encouraging results, gain info on becoming a lighthouse and provide knowledge resources for existing lighthouses. In our church we have a map of the city with people who are lighthouses marked on the map. It's pretty cool to see how many there are.

I put the site together as an example and in doing that borrowed a little content I'd found on other Lighthouses of Prayer sites. Here's a little content.
Lighthouses of Prayer is not a program. It's simply a process of praying daily for people around you who have not yet begun a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Lighthouses follows the pattern of Luke 10:5-9, where Jesus gives instruction on sharing the good news.

It's important to remember that the timing of each of these phases can range from a relatively short period of time to several years. Each relationship will be unique and will develop differently. The most important thing is to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit

Phase 1: Establish a "Perimeter of Faith" and "Speak Peace" (Luke 10:5)

A perimeter of faith is a territory you'll commit to praying over daily. It could be either your neighborhood or your workplace. Start by asking God to help you determine the number of people, homes, cubicles or apartments that he wants you to influence personally. Then ask God for the faith to do it.

Your perimeter of faith should be big enough to stretch you, but small enough to allow you to track the progress of your relationships. Your perimeter should also consist of people with whom you have, or can potentially have, contact. It is not necessary at the outset to know everyone in your perimeter - but through dedicated prayer God may begin a relationship that doesn't currently exist.

Once you establish your perimter of faith, the next step is to "speak peace." - to start praying for blessing. The goal is simply to establish a lifestyle of praying for those around you, and to ask God to bless them and to be working in their lives.

Phase 2: Bridge Building (Luke 10:7)

The second phase involves establishing relationships with the people for whom you're praying.

Phase 3: Pray for felt needs (Luke 10:9)

Now that you've been praying and developing relationships, look for specific needs that are expressed in the context of your relationships and pray for those things.

Phase 4: Proclamation (Luke 10:9)

As the people in your perimeter of faith become aware of the presence, the love, and the power of God, be ready for opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ.

Q. What is a Lighthouse?
A. A Lighthouse is a person, family or small group committed to pray for, care for and share Christ with family members, friends, classmates, coworkers and neighbors, especially those who do not know him. Praying, caring, sharing Christians impact the lives of those in their circle of influence. Prayer moves God’s hand in their lives (James 5:16). Caring demonstrates God’s love in practical ways (Romans 12:21). Sharing exposes them to the power of the gospel (Romans 1:16).
