Hi friends! This Christmas season, we’re reminded of our Savior who gave up His freedom for us while we were still sinners. “Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for Me” (Matthew 25:40). In the spirit of the season, and to reflect Christ likeness, we are appealing to you to raise $123.40 to provide clothing for Vincent, who has been incarcerated for 35 years of a 50-to-life sentence. He has no family, and we are his only support from the outside. he has been in touch with Beacon of Light for several years. If you’re able, please consider sponsoring an item or two—any amount helps. A photo of his requests, via his Penpal, is included. Most of all, please keep Vincent in your prayers this Christmas. ❤️ Please feel free to donate via the QR code or mail a check to us at Beacon of Light, PO Box 118, Rexford, NY 12148. Merry Christmas! * Beacon of Light is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your donation may be tax deductible. Please consult with your tax advisor.

🌿 Beacon of Light’s 2025 Fall Women’s Weekend Getaway is underway! 🌿
Last night we kicked off our weekend together with the theme: “Caring for Ourselves as Daughters of God – Rest. Renewal. Relationships.”
A heartfelt thank you to our friends at Grace Chapel of Clifton Park for hosting The Forge complete with sundaes and popcorn! There wasn’t a dry eye in the room, and it was such a powerful way to begin our weekend.
As we continue today, please keep us in your prayers as we dive into important discussions about mental health and building healthy relationships. May this be a time of true renewal for every woman here. 💜

In Loving Memory of Brandi Clews:

Beacon of Light would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of our former treasurer, Brandi, who passed away earlier today after her courageous battle with pancreatic cancer.

Brandi faithfully served Beacon of Light for many years as both a volunteer and treasurer, stepping down from her role in early June due to her illness. Her dedication, kindness, and steadfast support were a blessing to this ministry and to all who had the privilege of serving alongside her.

We ask that you join us in prayer for her husband and their two young children—a son and daughter—as they navigate this time of deep loss and grief. May God’s comfort and peace surround them in the days ahead.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
—Psalm 34:18
