I just wanted to say to all of the young women and men that have shared their testimonies here, TO GOD BE THE GLORY and THANK YOU. I'm just turned 20 years old on June 14, and decided that the silence needed to be broken in my community and those surrounding me in school and anywhere else. I decided I would not take the burden of the past 16 years of my life over into this next phase of my life. I praise God for your strength and boldness!! After watching your videos and hearing the different testimonies, I see that I was not alone in where I was(bound to homosexuality and masturbation), neither am I alone in where I am now(free and delivered from sin)!!! After watching the videos I was able to talk to my mother and my pastor about the life I was living right under their nose and let them know that its real and God's ability and power to deliver is just as real!!! Although I was as scared as scared could be, I was able to go through with tell them. Since then, I have begun a ministry called "Young Women Promoting Purpose" and also have begun planning my first seminar this summer!!! Telling my parents and my pastor and planning the seminar has all been done in a matter of weeks!!!
I'm just grateful for men and women of God like you all!! I appreciate and love you all for your strength!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue to keep up the work for the Kingdom!
