Welcome to Lighthouse Radio
A brief history
In early September 2003,
Clive Welsh called his friend who was operating Radio Emmanuel in San
Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye to see how he was doing with several
challenges before him. To the surprise of Clive, he was told by his
friend that he was no longer only to be able to operate the radio
station due to several personal reasons and I asked if he would give
me a week to pray about and see what the Lord would do with this open
door. Clive knowing first hand the powerful ministry Christian Radio
in his own life personally and as a missionary to his country seeing
the need for the expositional and relevant teaching of the Word of
God, he began to pray. He then contacted some friends in the US who
shared his desire and vision for Christian Radio and within a week's
time, he was given the opportunity to take over the directorship of
the radio station and changing its name to Lighthouse Christian
Radio. With the radio station licensed for the island, Ambergris
Caye, Clive felt the name would be significant because of the role a
lighthouse plays to those lost at sea by providing direction,
security, and hope as they maneuvering through life's storms and
rough waters. The Light of Christ is what Clive saw as a great need
on Ambergris Caye where many from all over the world would come
seeking paradise in it's warm climate, beauty and many water
activities. Yet the darkness of sin is prevalent as many both
residents and visitors seek to fill the emptiness with the vices of
the world.
