What's Going on at His Way Out Ministries?
Testimonies & Ministry Services

When I came to His Way Out Ministries, it was a big step towards healing that I so desperately needed. I received great encouragement and not in any way was I forced to spill my inner most self until I was ready. His Way Out Ministries became a refuge and I began looking forward to going and letting out all I had been suppressing inside. I have experienced healing and security. I have hope and look forward to growing further. It's been an amazing journey. - John

His Way Out Ministries Teaching Module - Understanding Homosexuality

I am so glad I am out of the madness of homosexuality. I found out the gay lifestyle is not all that it promises to be. Ultimately, after fully surrendering my life to Christ, I am learning that He is the only true judge and I should never confuse His judgments with the judgments of others. I am looking forward to the future with hope and expectancy. - L.S.

Live Video Interview from Jamaica

I attempted to become a better Christian by reading the Bible more and increasing my head knowledge of who I was supposed to be. Ultimately, I came to understand that by myself I could not change but with Jesus in my heart and in my life, I am free from the control of sin and the enemy. I no longer believe the lies of the enemy regarding homosexuality. My faith has increased and I understand that Jesus Christ can meet all my needs both known and unknown. - J.M.

Parent Support Group - 7pm to 9pm - First Monday Evening of Each Month
Our Parent Support Group assists parents to understand and face the complexity of emotions, actions and questions that parents have upon learning of a child's homosexuality and encourages parents to make godly choices for spiritual growth in their own lives in response to the issues facing the family. Meetings are co-facilitated by Craig and Karen Fulwyler at Chester Avenue Community Church in Bakersfield, CA.

For many years I struggled with bi-sexuality; at times I was successful for periods of six months. But because I continued feeding my mind with gay pornography, I always ended up back in gay sexual immorality. It wasn't until I got to the point of being sick and tired of my lifestyle that I sought help. His Way Out Ministries became an oasis in a spiritual desert - a desert that I'd been hopelessly wandering in for too many years. I now know the meaning of being transformed by the renewing of our mind. - G. R.

Biblical Guidance
Biblical guidance and prayer support is available in person, by phone, or email.

When my husband 'came out of the closet,' I wanted nothing more than to be comforted. Up until this time in my life, I had barely spoken the word 'homosexuality.' I felt shame and embarrassment about this touching my life and yet I loved my husband and wanted people to be kind and sensitive towards him. Eventually, I attended a support group at His Way Out Ministries and I began to receive understanding and compassion for what I was going through. While I would never have asked for this to happen in my life, I am thankful for all that God has shown and taught me through this. - G. M.

Overseas Ministry
His Way Out Ministries continues to reach around the world with a message of hope and transformation in Christ Jesus with particular ministry emphasis in Guyana, South America, where we have enjoyed a strong ministry partnership for many years with Operation Restoration, a local Guyanese ministry, WIRED Counseling Agency in Kingston, Jamaica and this coming October, His Way Out Ministries will be traveling to Trinidad by invitation of the Hospital Christian Fellowship to educate and equip the Church on the complexities of homosexuality. At His Way Out Ministries, we can easily spend 3-4 hours per day conversing with individuals, families and churches around the world that have contacted us via our web site.

Through the internet, oddly enough, I was able to obtain some phone numbers and subsequently make contact with Pastor Phil at His Way Out Ministries. The Lord gave me hope; this was a ministry that was directed specifically towards the sexually broken. I started meeting with Pastor Phil on a weekly basis. We started and ended every meeting with prayer, praising the Lord and requesting His presence. I have a wife and six children. I thank the Lord that the cycle of sin is broken with this generation. - J.M.

For 'Wives' Only - Hope for Wives When Sexual Impurity Hits a Marriage!
While homosexuality or sexual impurity in a marriage certainly produces a crisis, it may be that with the "secret" becoming known, the marriage has opportunity to survive. For 'Wives' Only is facilitated by Ginny Mitchell with meetings held on the first Saturday of each month from 9am to 11am at the His Way Out Ministries office. There is hope if you are in this situation!

Several years ago, two broken people (my husband and myself) found our way through the doors of His Way Out Ministries. Let me just say that we were literally broken. Our child was so sexually broken and on a path of destruction that would end in a world of hurt and devastation, our marriage was not doing well, and our family was being split apart. At the His Way Out Ministries support group meetings, we were surrounded by people going through the same things we were going through. Ultimately, we received hope and healing. Also, we learned never, ever to underestimate the power of prayer. - A.W.

Workshops & Seminars - From Sexual Brokenness to Spiritual Wholeness

Talking to others who have been through the same situation, and getting love and support from all of them, has given me the realization that my homosexuality had nothing to do with sex. Instead, it had been the way in which I was trying to satisfy a need - the need of intimacy with God. In the same way that somebody else abused alcohol, drugs, gambling, food, etc., I did it with sex. But there was never enough. Deep in my heart, there was always an emptiness that only God has finally filled. I remain grateful to His Way Out Ministries for showing me that I don't have to perfect, but I don't have to be homosexual either. - J.F.

To the Church, Individuals, Communities, the World!
His Way Out Ministries is based on our concern regarding the issue of homosexuality and seeks to minister to those within the Church, and communities at large, with the Truth of Scripture, the power of testimony, and the dialogue of issues. We are dedicated to raising awareness, educating, and encouraging the Body of Christ to minister to those who struggle with homosexuality. We believe restoration is available through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the healing power of the Holy Spirit. We are committed to lovingly communicate to the sexually broken that God's mercy and grace are sufficient for transformation. We are committed to effectively and compassionately communicating God's heart concerning sexual brokenness and wholeness, while disputing the unchangeable nature of sexual orientation.

A Brief Note from Pastor Phillip Lee...
Today, confusion about sexuality, homosexuality in particular, is all too common. While some continue to say people are born gay, others say they are not. Thousands of people who were told they were homosexual have found the gay lifestyle to be less than satisfying. People desire and deserve godly answers to their questions. You make it possible for us to bring the healing power of Jesus Christ to the many seeking a way out of homosexuality. In your own church and throughout the entire world, people are in need of God's clarity about their relationships and their sexuality. Participating in the work of His Way Out Ministries is one way to acknowledge Christ's healing power for the sexual broken. We covet your prayers and support.

New Live Series
RiverLakes Community Church



This past June (2010), Pastor Phillip Lee was asked to speak at RiverLakes Community Church on two topics. The first, Homosexuality, can be found here. The video is not available but here is a direct link to the Audio MP3.

The second topic was A Christian Response to Homosexuality and can be found here and here are the direct links to the Audio MP3 and the Video MP4. The MP4 video can be quite a resource hog, so if you have a slower connection or processor we have also posted the video on our Vimeo Channel in two parts. Part one is here and part two is here. Check 'em out!
