Dr. Brandon Bower – Founder & Director of The Lighthouse in Fort Wayne
Brandon is a passion driven visionary with a heart to see the lost and hurting come to know the healing power of Jesus Christ through salvation. In aligning with the Matthew 25 passage of Scripture, The Lighthouse seeks to not only serve men but their families and the community as well by providing food through their Food Bank, community meals, clothing vouchers through their Family Thrift Stores, support groups, counseling at their Community Center, and much more. Each of these ministries has the same goal and purpose: to see God’s healing power and salvation rise up in the hearts of those Brandon and The Lighthouse serve through the love of Jesus Christ.
