6. Please Pray for us! • I was sent out from the Lighthouse Baptist Church in San Diego, CA under Pastor Doug Fisher in 1995. • We are an Inner City Church that began 12 years ago in an abandoned Crack house that had no heat for the first year and no bathrooms for the first 2 years. • After 3 years there, we purchased a building from the city of Utica for $29,000, this is where we are today. • The Lord has blessed us in many ways over the 12 yrs. since we started the Lighthouse Baptist Church.

8. We Need $390,000 to Purchase these Properties! • This Property is presently a Roman Catholic Church. • The Church has lost most of its members and has had to join with another church in the area. • The Buildings are in Great Condition. • This Property is in a good area and only 5 minutes from our current Church Home. • We have the opportunity of a Lifetime. • We are not just purchasing some buildings but a “Community”

26. ALL FOR JESUS’ SAKE! • An Inner City work doesn’t have the finances of most Churches because many of the members have low income jobs. We have come a long way on our own but now we could use your help. • Our people are committed to give sacrificially by Faith. • I as the Pastor have never asked for financial assistance and have worked a full time secular job for the first ten years to start this work, but now I am asking for the brethren’s help to make this possible. • I realize that many of you have your own financial burdens and responsibilities, but if we all do something we can help each other do great things for our Lord Jesus Christ. • I as well as our Church would be greatly indebted to you for your gift of love and will not forget your sacrifice. • Please visit our website at lighthousebaptistutica.com for our statement of faith and more info. on our Church; or call 315-732-2091.
