Recently, at People Encouraging People, a ministry of River Lakes Community Church, His Way Out Ministries had the privilege of facilitating a 3-hour workshop for 50 pastoral lay counselors addressing such questions as: Can homosexuals really change? How long does change take? How do I respond to pro-gay arguments? Is homosexuality genetic? What do you say and do when a loved one confesses they are homosexual? All were covered in detail and extremely well received by those in attendance. Below is just one comment for a workshop participant.

“I found the time to be very meaningfully spent with your personal sharing and commentary on the issue of same-sex attraction, choices involved in terms of adopting a gay identity and pursuing a gay-life all very helpful in expanding my understanding of these complex issues.”

Thanks, River Lakes for inviting His Way Out Ministries back once again to participate in People Encouraging People.

Together, we have and we will continue to make a difference!
