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).
Keith Howard: A Journey of Redemption and Service
Rev. Keith Howard is the Founder of Beacon Light Ministries International, a global outreach dedicated to equipping believers for service. Based in Fort Pierce, Florida, he also serves as a ministry contractor with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, leading Christian Life and Witness Evangelistic Training and offering prayerful, confidential counsel as a “Pastor to Pastors.”
After a 34-year career in civil engineering, Keith retired to fully embrace his calling—a calling born from a life-changing moment on November 27, 1994. Grieving the loss of his father and feeling spiritually empty, he remembered his grandmother Lula’s words: “If you ever get in trouble, call on Jesus.”That night, Keith did—and his life was forever transformed. He repented, accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior, and left behind alcohol and tobacco for good.
In 2003, Keith began theological studies at Moody Bible College and went on to serve in diverse ministry roles—Sunday School Teacher, Deacon, Men’s Director, Pastor, Hospice Chaplain, and mentor through the Florida Baptist Convention. His passion is strengthening discipleship in the Church through practical, Bible-based leadership development and intentional mentoring.
In 2014, Keith launched Beacon Light Ministries International’s mission arm, serving the U.S., Africa, Central America, Asia, and the Middle East through evangelism, orphan care, feeding programs, and ministry partnerships. His life’s mission is simple yet profound: to share the transforming love of Christ, equip others to lead, and see lives forever changed for God’s glory.
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
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).
