For Ladies Only

It is our nature to isolate when we are struggling with the various trials in life. But we do not have to walk through them alone. Open the door to healing by sharing your experiences, strengths and hope and by becoming willing to accept God’s grace in solving life’s problems.

For Ladies Only, facilitated by Ginny Mitchell, is women supporting, praying, loving and caring for one another by being real and not hiding their feelings. For Ladies Only offers a safe environment to talk about real issues ladies have and are sometimes too ashamed or afraid to talk about. Come and receive biblical guidance, prayer and encouragement for your healing journey.

For Ladies Only meets on the first Saturday of each month from 9:00am to 11:00am at His Way Out Ministries Office.

Dear Friends and Ministry Partners…

Admittedly, The Church has always faced problems, but the scope and intensity of its problem regarding homosexuality seems to be greater than any previous time in history. How did things get to this point?

An increase of the “gay is good” notion within the Church, along with a considerable decline in the moral tone of America literally now threatens the stability of the Church. Morality on the part of many appears to be minimal.

Is it possible that given the crisis of homosexuality in the Church, and the persecution by many that uphold the Authority of Scripture which clearly defines the practice of homosexuality, in any form and to any degree, a sin, are being separated as true believers from the merely professing to be Christian?

There is no doubt we are witnessing an increase and a rise to an amoral society. That said, Church history clearly dictates that persecution has generally purified and strengthened the Church. Today, however, The Church, called to be salt and light, appears to be greatly struggling today to find its relevance. There was time when The Church set societal standards.

Therefore, what are the prospects for The Church (Christians) choosing to confront and combat what appears to be a growing complacency and neglect regarding homosexuality? If we as true, faithful followers of Christ Jesus, face and discuss this critical issue in a rational and loving way hoping and praying to produce principles that may warn and encourage The Church with regard to the future, is it possible our attention to what lies before us will produce a stronger Church?

We remain convinced for proper spiritual guidance in the life of every Christian and the Christian community, our authority must be rooted in special revelation which must guide all reason, emotion, and the will – individually and collectively. We can and we must be accepting of the same-sex attracted man or woman, but we can never accept a theology or a way of life that flies in the face of God’s Word.

Frankly, we do not know of a time when we have needed God’s intervention so desperately. No nation has squandered as many opportunities as we have. It does seem unrealistic to expect a revival when far too many appear to be unwilling to face the harassment that might well come to us all. But if we humble ourselves and weep for this nation, God may yet intervene and restore decency to this crazed nation and world.

All of us at His Way Out Ministries truly covet your prayers. You make it possible for His Way Out Ministries to reach around the world with a message of hope in Christ Jesus. Today, the need remains great but too often the resources are few. We desperately need you to help us in this effort.

rr-gay-awareness-schottGay Awareness by Landon Schott exposes false teaching and deception, that have created a false identity through the lens of sexuality instead of the eyes of God’s Word.

Landon Schott addresses: What the Bible actually says about marriage, homosexuality, and sexuality; contradictions between the gay lifestyle and the Christ-centered lifestyle; how men and women can experience deliverance and freedom; and mistakes the Church makes when addressing the gay community.

Did God make people gay? Does God love homosexuals? Will people have to deal with same-sex attraction their entire lives? Landon Schott brings truth and clarity to sexual confusion, using over 400 Scripture references to reveal the heart of the Father and mind of Christ.

Gay Awareness by Landon Schott is available at Amazon.com

There is no doubt the subject of homosexuality has become perhaps the most controversial social issue of our time, often presenting a host of difficult, if not divisive questions, such as: What exactly is homosexuality and how is it caused? Is homosexual practice morally good? Is homosexual practice beneficial or detrimental to the individual?

What’s the best way to respond to the gay agenda that relentlessly bombards us through various social and political agendas?

Since 1994, His Way Out Ministries has been dedicated to equipping, educating, and encouraging the Body of Christ to minister transformingly to men and women with unwanted same-sex attraction.

We believe restoration and wholeness is possible through Biblical discipleship, prayer, a caring Christian community and the healing power of the Holy Spirit.

However, we have been and we continue to be very concerned with the many misconceptions people, including Christians, have bought into with regard to homosexuality; opinions and beliefs which are anything but based upon the Truth and Authority of Scripture.

Presently, we are working with a Christian radio station(s) which is lending their expertise, experience and guidance for what will be a considerable project which will include many sound bite commercials detailing the ministry services of His Way Out Ministries, testimonies, and other information regarding homosexuality from a uniquely Christian standpoint and belief.

Also, there is a possibility of His Way Out Ministries eventually airing a regular 30-minute teaching program which will focus on God’s Divine Intent for Human Sexuality, The Myths of Homosexuality, Homosexuality and the Church, Youth and Homosexuality, etc.

Why are we communicating all of this now? We truly covet your prayers. Prayer is the foundation for success. Anything and everything we do for King and Kingdom must be birthed in prayer and continually bathed in prayer. Would you please pray for this project?

Our God is a God of New Beginnings! By faith, we give Him all the praise for the great things He is about to do and accomplish.

  • Affirms that all persons need the ministry of the Church in their struggle for sexual wholeness, and we commit ourselves to that end. Our position rests on the Authority of Scripture versus the interpretations of some of the social sciences.
  • All ministry services are centered on the biblical foundations of compassion, integrity, and dependence on God.

“If the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle.” (1 Corinthians 14:8)

in-memorium-200In the aftermath of the horrific and heart-wrenching tragedy in Orlando, Florida, we are witnessing some of the best and worst aspects of America. Prayerfully, may all of America see the murderous sin of terrorism and pray for all of America to be safe from evildoers.

This is a time to grieve, mourn and pray.

His Way Out Ministries asks and calls on all partners and members in America, the Caribbean and South America to intercede and pray for the many families that have suffered the senseless and tragic loss of their loved one.

Lord of all compassion, we pray for all those caught up in the midst of human tragedy.
We pray for those who have lost life and for those working to save life.
We pray for those worried for people they love.
We pray for those who need peace that surpasses all understanding.
We pray for all those turning to You in the midst of horrific tragedy and turmoil.
We pray for those crying out to You in fear and in love.
We pray for those in confusion and despair.
We pray for those whose tears will never end.
We pray for those in need of your unending love.
Lord have mercy.

When such outrageous violence and extreme loss of life is beyond our capacity to comprehend, we seek and run to our compassionate and Almighty God. As Christians, all life is sacred and to be celebrated. Presently, there are men and women in the gay community that are afraid. Understandably so. Therefore, let us not become more concerned about political or social issues and pronouncements than we are with those who are fearful and mourn.

As the Body of Christ, we can and we must love. This is all about people. People whom God loves and people for whom Jesus died.

May God have mercy upon us all.

By Maverlin Oliver

Angels don’t always fly so stop looking up in the sky for one even though he or she might be up there.

Would this angry, self-blaming, sad, psychologically and physically damaged woman ever stop blaming herself for what she was going through in life? Struggling to recover from a serious bodily injury that left her disfigured and somewhat incapacitated, she writhed in agony on her hospital bed. Where was God when all of this happened to her? God could not be real.

“God, if you are real, show me a sign, let someone come and speak to me!” she internalized. Her emotional distress was eating out her heart and torturing her confused mind. A few eternal minutes passed.

Impossible! Someone, a TOTAL stranger, (“Angel,” not her real name) walked over to her bed and started to talk to her. She told the patient (“Bernie,” not her real name) that she was visiting someone in the hospital and saw her and thought she’d just come over to say “hi” and to tell her that God loves her.

“Do you know me?” asked Bernie.

“No, I don’t,” smiled Angel.

“So why did you come over to see me and you don’t even know me?” interrogated Bernie.

“Well… because God told me to do so,” responded Angel in a confident, angelic voice.

Bernie was dumbstruck! They talked a little more. Angel told her she was coming from a workshop called “A Christian Response to Homosexuality”. Bernie quizzed Angel further about the Christian response and Angel told her that although homosexuality is a sin (like other sins), and it is wrong yet as Christians we should be compassionate and show love, even though we are not condoning the sin.

The hot tears streamed down Bernie’s contorted face as she shared: “I am married to a man but basically all my life I’ve struggled with homosexuality and I’m with this woman partner to whom I am also married for many years but my husband does not know about my female partner. I know it’s wrong and I want to leave her but I’m afraid. I don’t know what to do but I want to get out of it. I suffer such anguish and pain.” Bernie told Angel that she was an answer to her prayer to God as a sign to show that He is real. Angel squeezed through that opening to share the gospel with her and to tell her that God loves her and so does she. Angel promised to refer her to one of the counselors who was at His Way Out Ministry (HWOM) workshop in Trinidad & Tobago West Indies.

Angels come in many forms, sometimes flying from one country to another but also in the form of a total stranger sent by God to minister to a brokenhearted bisexual woman.

*(NOTE: Sincere thanks to Pastor Phillip Lee and others from HWOM who held these workshops as your work is changing many lives for God’s glory. This true story was related to me by “Angel”. Bernie’s legal relationship with the woman was not done in Trinidad & Tobago as thankfully that kind of so-called “marriage” is illegal here but it was done in another country where it is legalized in some states).

Since you can’t be here to witness for yourself what God does, I’d like to share a typical day with you at His Way Out Ministries.

The day begins with a phone appointment with a man in Utah. We have been talking for quite awhile. After working though many aspects of his same-gender attraction, he is now talking about his desire for marriage (and all the concerns that go along with it).

The next session is via email with a pastor in Michigan regarding a young man that is unusually gifted in leading worship but admits to his struggle with same-gender attraction. With his church knowing his story, he remains accountable to his pastor and committed to the healing process with His Way Out Ministries being part of the team.

The guy just before lunch is walking away from his addiction to pornography and is learning to be intimate with Jesus for the first time in his Christian experience. Like a sponge, he feverishly takes several pages of notes as we talk.

After lunch is the Jones’ (not their real name) wanting to talk about their fears and anxieties should their daughter continue down the path of a lesbian relationship.

Next, a marriage that has been impacted if not devastated by homosexuality. The next email conversation represents a wife that is seeking God with the husband completely complacent to the crisis in their family. No amount of reason seems to get through. While knowing he is losing his family, he doesn’t seem to care. Heartbreaking and mind-boggling.

Emails continue to arrive in the office from pastors in such places as Kenya, India and the United Kingdom asking, “How do I handle this?” or “How should I respond to…?”

A teenager comes in with his mother and dad. He is dealing with a sexual offense with a family member. Aside from being in court, he is grappling with sexual identify confusion and just being a teenager. In spite of the stress of life, progress is being made. God is moving and positive things are unfolding.

That evening, I continue to answer emails and draft articles for our monthly Newsletter and newspaper publications with Ginny checking-in with the wives group and Craig and Karen with parents.

The above is not an unusual day at His Way Out Ministries. Yes, lots of challenges, but also lots of life and lots of Jesus’ direct touch in people’s hearts. This is what you help us do each day along with groups, training seminars and conferences. His Way Out Ministries would not exist without you. Thank you and bless you for giving to our work. You are very, very appreciated! Your support and prayers keeps us going and afloat. God bless you!
