Lord Jesus Christ – President
Jesus Christ is the incarnate Word of God, fully human and fully divine, Creator and Savior, of the World, and He became a human being so that he could identify with our weaknesses and struggles, and most importantly, so that he could give his life to pay the penalty for the sins of all humankind (John 3:16; John 1:1,14; Hebrews 2:17; Philippians 2:5-11).
Our BEACON LIGHT MINISTRY focuses on energizing discipleship within local Churches and enhancing existing ministries through tailored resources and support. Our mission is to provide practical, Bible-based strategies that empower individuals to step into leadership while offering encouragement as they face life’s challenges. Together, we can spark a movement of transformation and faith that touches hearts and changes lives!
BEACON LIGHT MINISTRIES INTERNATIONALS is helping hundreds of households in East Africa with feeding programs and spiritual discipleship. We have planted Beacon Light churches in Kenya and West Pokot, Uganda.
BEACON Light’s ministry is made possible because of the prayers and gifts of our friends, partners, and supporters. Your gift of support will help continue all of Beacon Light’s efforts around the globe.
Please join us today. I invite you to pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit as you prepare to respond with a generous heart. Many thanks, and God bless
A Journey of Redemption and Transformation
Keith Howard’s life is a testimony of God’s redeeming power and grace. On November 27, 1994, in a moment of deep loss and spiritual emptiness, he cried out to Jesus—remembering his grandmother’s words, “If you ever get in trouble, call on Jesus.” That night changed everything. Keith surrendered his life to Christ, leaving behind old habits and stepping into a brand-new life.
What began as a personal turning point became a lifelong calling. After a successful 34-year career in civil engineering, Keith fully devoted himself to ministry—equipping believers, strengthening churches, and mentoring leaders around the world.
Today, as the Founder of Beacon Light Ministries International and a ministry partner with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Keith’s mission is clear: to share the hope of Jesus Christ, develop disciples, and help others experience the same life-changing transformation he received.
Doctrinal Statement
Water Baptism: We believe baptism in water shall be by immersion in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and shall be administered to only those who give evidence of being born again. (Matthew 28:19- 20)
The Lord’s Supper: The Lord’s Supper is the second ordinance commanded by Christ whereby believers of like faith and order partake of unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine, which are symbolic of the broken body and shed blood of Jesus Christ. At the Lord’s Supper, believers remember the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ until His return. It is a time of introspection when each individual believer evaluates his walk with Christ (1 Corinthians 11:23-28).
The scriptures: We believe the Bible was “God-breathed” or inspired. The Bible is the believer’s only infallible rule of faith and practice. It is the first and final authority as pertains to the matters of the church. ( Psalm:119:105, 2 Timothy 3:16-17)
The God Head: There is one God, self-existent in the three persons called the Trinity who were equal in nature, essence, and power; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ( Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians\ 13:14).
The Person of Christ: Christ, the God-Man, who is eternal, was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life ( Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:1-3;John 1:14;Hebrews 4:15).
By His substitutionary death, burial, and bodily resurrection on the third day. He made fun and complete atonement for the sins of the world ( Isaiah 53:4-6;2 Corinthians.
We believe in the sanctity of marriage and that marriage should be between one man and one woman who are both believers. We believe God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Divorce is contrary to the principles of marriage and its original institution by God and was only allowed for the hardness of men’s hearts (Deuteronomy 24:1, Matthew 19:3-9). The members should refrain from divorce except due to such situations, as described in Matthew 19:9.
Pastors/Ministers and the members of BEACON LIGHT MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. shall not perform same-sex weddings for members and non-members but will conduct wedding ceremonies for one man and one woman as biologically designed by birth.
5:14-15; 1 John 2:2).
