Coptic Lighthouse Ministry is composed of a group of youth from St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church of Washington, D.C. that hopes to provide some light in a dark and stormy world through praising the True Light, our Lord Jesus Christ.  

“Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle.”
Psalms 43:3

He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30

"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed." - Acts 16: 25-26
