One Transformed Life at a Time
I received this email from one of our young women who participated in our ministry years ago, left, and returned, and is now very active again. God is so good!
I received a birthday email last year from you just two weeks after getting saved. I was very much struggling with what steps to take as I was fully in the LGBTQ lifestyle. At that time, I had no relationship with my family, was homeless, unemployed, not identifying as female, suicidal, and so incredibly broken. Then I got your email. It let me know that you all still cared and were willing to walk with me; it was the invitation I needed to reach back out.
Since receiving that email a year ago, I have been back and involved at Living Hope, broke up with my girlfriend, completely left the lifestyle, embraced my God-designed femininity, am free from pornography for ten months, am seeing my relationships with some of my family beginning to be restored, have a place to live, am on staff at my church, have a healthy community, and so much more. But most of all, I have grown closer to the Lord.
The impact of Living Hope has not stopped with me. I work as an LPC, and this year, I have had the honor of witnessing multiple clients get saved and have been walking alongside multiple people leaving the lifestyle.
Thank you for all that you do for Living Hope. And thank you for all the intentional ways in which you all demonstrate that you care. Living Hope is the purest form of the gospel in action. There are no words adequate to communicate all that this ministry means to me and how greatly it has impacted my life. Thank you for your continual sacrificial “yes” to the Lord. It matters.
