I am so excited to be here


I am so excited to be here.  I was told about this wonderful place by Nate Black.  I have known Nate since 1999 and I am so thrilled for the wonderful path that Father has taken him on.  I am pleased to know that the remnant  is alive today, doing the true work of the Lord.


A little about me.  I am a 28 year old gay guy.  I was fortunate enough to be brought up in a christian home.  I was baptised Catholic and then my mother tracked to the baptist church, then the AOG, then to non denominational charismatic.  I was very fortunate to see and feel Father work in my life.


I knew I was "different" at a very early age.  I was sexually abused as a child from the ages of 5-7.  My step father was a good ole boy, rancher.  he was abusive to all of us, physically, emotionally, etc.  He especially loved tormenting me.  I can say that after 25 years of marriage, Father relesaed my mother from the bondage of marriage to him ,and now we are working on restoration.  God is so very good.


I have been down the road of drugs, promiscuity, suicide attepmpts, rebellion, walking away from Father.  I can say that Father has touched my life in s  many ways.  He has brought me to a place of peace, contentment, hope, joy, and love. through it all He encompassed me with protection


I hate religious spirits and the hippocrits that move in them.  I consider myself a 'Gospel Christian'.  I strive to have the love of Christ and His compassion acting in my life everyday.  My heart is broken each and every day at HIS love.  I am tearful at the moment when I think of Him and what He has done for me.


I am pleased to know that there are "others" at there whom the world has thrown away and said they weren't worthy or good enough, that have been touched by the sweet Spirit and are moving in the love of Christ.


Father bless each of you and may the love and purpose of Christ be alive in each of your lives..

"Praise the Lord, O my soul, all my inmost being, praise His holy name, who redeems my life from the pit and crowns ME with love and compassion." Ps 103: 1 and 4

Hi Blaine,


I'm so glad you have found your way here.  That Nathan has brought in some new blood!!


You will never be told here that you aren't worthy or good enough.  This is our way of ministering to the gay community, and you (or anyone else!) we always be welcome here.


Blessings,


Mama Lisa
