Get to know us

From our USA headquarters in Kansas City, executive directors Jim and Nancy Hester are able to fluidly manage international Lamplighter programs, train and pastor rising young missionaries, and gather short-term traveling teams for relief work and evangelism. In many nations, including Uganda, it is imperative to establish local workers as the leaders of our programs. In addition to the witness of these men and women on the frontline of preaching the Gospel to their communities, a clear benefit of this approach is economic growth brought to the community by employing local workers. For 24 years our teams have ministered to the prodigals, the forgotten, the lost, and the hidden. The heartbeat of our mission is to reach the most needy with the love of Jesus Christ.
