Expanding the Mission: Lamplighters International’s Strategic Vision for Growth

In the final quarter of 2023, Lamplighters International’s Board of Directors prayerfully engaged Jay Carroll, a dedicated Christian leader with a strong background in ministry and business development, to guide the creation of a strategic plan aimed at expanding and enhancing our ministry's operations. This effort seeks to glorify God by significantly increasing our reach and impact for Christ.

The Lamplighters Strategic Expansion & Improvement Plan was crafted through the collective wisdom and prayerful input of our Board of Directors, key stakeholders, dedicated Lamplighters staff, and the guidance of John and Joline Stewart. This plan outlines nine key initiatives, which have led to the formation of nine unique volunteer committees dedicated to advancing our mission.

The Great Commission and Acts 20:20 Vision

We are inspired by the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20, where He commands us to “go and make disciples of all nations.” In alignment with this Great Commission, we believe the Lord has ordained the initiatives within our Acts 20:20 Vision to further His Kingdom through Lamplighters International.

The Acts 20:20 Vision is named after the passage in Acts where Paul, with a heart full of love for the Ephesian elders, declared that he “kept back nothing that was helpful” in his ministry, teaching “from house to house.” With that same unwavering commitment, we seek to boldly proclaim God’s Word and reach more souls for Christ, both in the United States of America and across the globe and invite you to join us.

Our Vision’s Objectives:

  1. To expand Lamplighters International’s influence and multiply our impact for Christ by training and equipping more men and women to become active and effective disciples.
  2. To free up John Stewart, allowing him to focus on writing, speaking, discipling, and providing spiritual oversight for the ministry.

To realize these goals, we trust in God’s provision to increase our fundraising, staffing, and creative outreach, drawing more participants into the Lamplighters family.

As a non-profit ministry, Lamplighters International relies primarily on God’s provision through the generous support of our Lamplighters family. While book sales contribute a small portion of our revenue, it is your ongoing support that sustains and grows this ministry.

We deeply appreciate your prayers, your service, and your generosity as we continue to follow God’s call to spread His Word and make disciples for His glory. 


How can you get involved?

  • Pray & Consider — How is God leading you to support the Lamplighters ministry in 2024 and beyond?
  • Volunteer — We still need more help with our improvement and expansion committees — and our planned growth will require more trained men and women to lead additional study groups.
  • Invite — At least one-third of our planned growth is based on the effectiveness of our participants inviting others into the ministry.
  • Give — For Lamplighters to “Boldly Proclaim God’s Word” to more people, it will require us to more than double our annual budget.
