The HeavenTrain “Church-on-Wheels” bus is one of the ministries of Lighthouse, Inc. It has been serving Cleveland’s Central Neighborhood for over 40 years!

HeavenTrain volunteers meet the kids and their caregivers where they live to carry a message of hope and transformation.

About H.A.R.P.
In 2005, H.A.R.P. formally incorporated as an Ohio 501(c) 3 not-for- profit. It is an evangelical Christian organization located in the town of Caldwell in southwestern Ohio. This area struggles with a 22% poverty rate and lacks accessibility to most social service agencies including Goodwill, Salvation Army, and the American Red Cross. Likewise, there are no homeless shelters or food pantries. H.A.R.P. provides vital social services to the community by aligning donations of resources to the greatest areas of need.
