～I am the light of the world～ John 8:12
気仙沼は漁港の町で、安全な航海には灯台は無くてはならない存在です。そのように、私たちは毎日の何気ない日々の中で、突然嵐が訪れるように予期もしない出来事に遭遇し、目の前が真っ暗になる時があります。そのような時に、聖書には、イエス・キリストは、「私は世の光です。」(ヨハネ８：１２）と書かれています。人の光である神のことばに照らされ、暗闇の中にあっても、安全な人生を航海できるというビジョンをもとに「気仙沼ライトハウス」の名前はつけられました。
The house was renovated to make it a suitable place to house christian volunteers who want to partner with us in sharing the love of God. With this place we will be able to provide low cost lodging, language support and local connections to the community. We want to serve both the physical and spiritual needs of the people of Japan. While at the same time offering a place where we can care for those who come to care for others.
By living side-by-side in the community and serving the needs of the community we have an opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
We will call this place, "Kesennuma Lighthouse", which
symbolizes the affect the word of God has on people
as they turn from the darkness and see the truth
in the light. It is also symbolic of a guide to safe harbor
which is meaningful to this fishing port town.
Keith Moore , Founder of Kesennuma Lighthouse
