Beacon People Ten-Year Update
“As we close this chapter, I continue to ask God what He has next. I hope you will do the same.”
A Note from Anna:
This summer, the Lord has been incredibly kind. I’ve experienced His grace in new and powerful ways. His truth, encouragement, and quiet reassurance have met me again and again. As I’ve leaned in and listened, one word from Scripture has continued to stand out to me: coastlands. At first, I wasn’t sure why it caught my attention. I thought it was simply a beautiful word. But as I read through Isaiah, it began to feel like an invitation. It seemed like God was speaking something new, and I was ready to listen.
Over the past few months, He has been shifting things gently in my life. Just as we’ve always done through Beacon People, I kept praying, "Lord, what are You doing?" Now, the answer is clear. After ten beautiful years, the Lord is calling us to celebrate as we close the chapter of Beacon People. He is leading us away from the lighthouse and toward the coastland.
A New Chapter at Beacon People
Obviously, if He is leading me out of the lighthouse, you are being led by Him with me. I invite you into this space of reflection, curiosity, and celebration. Let’s step forward together with trust, joy, and expectation of what we will find on the coastland.
