The leadership of Joshua Fellowship says that if we want to speed up our healing, we need to spend more time in God’s presence in prayer.  I have found this to be true.  When I engage in prayer and song, I realign myself to God’s truth about Himself, about myself and about His love for me and those around me.

Before I found Outpost, I was isolated and hopeless.  I kept thinking, “I am alone in this.”  After finally contacting this ministry, I found a community filled with hope and Christ-centered leadership.  I found I was not alone!

I used to believe a struggle with homosexual desires was something best dealt with by myself.  When I came to Outpost, I discovered the empowering of the fellowship of believers and was enriched by the wealth of knowledge available here.  Through programming and discipleship, I’ve grown so much.  Outpost gave me something I hadn’t found anywhere else–HOPE.

At first, I was naturally terrified coming to Outpost.  “What if I’m spotted?  What if I’m found out?”  Through my time, I see now that no sin has overtaken me but what is common to man.  Now I have so much freedom, peace, and hope.  Outpost brought me a lot of understanding and perspective, especially seeing that I am not alone.

I searched for a ministry in Minnesota for help with my same-sex attractions.  I found Outpost then waited about two years to finally call!  I wish I would have called sooner.  It has been an amazing experience to meet and have fellowship with other men struggling with unwanted same-sex attractions.  This is not a place to feel judgment or shame.  It’s a place to have other believers come along side of you with God to gain freedom.

Finding Outpost is the best thing that ever happened to my relationship with Christ.  My relationship with Him has grown and become more real.  It has not been easy but worth the fight.

Outpost is unlike any other ministry I’ve been to.  This is a ministry devoted to sound theology, Spirit-led prayer, and honestly showing people the true Person of Jesus.  Through Outpost, I’ve been able to understand a lot of the reasons behind the development of my brokenness, the true, legitimate God-given needs behind many of these habits, as well as being provided a safe and secure environment to learn how to have these needs met correctly.  I’ve learned how to see the masculinity God has already put in me.

I have only been coming to Outpost Ministries for a short time, but in that time I’ve found tremendous change.  The staff don’t just teach on how to deal with unwanted same-sex attractions, they teach on real issues.  They teach you how to navigate through your social, emotional and prayer life.

I came out to my parents that I was gay.  They sought help to better understand what I was going through.  After attending Outpost for a year, they encouraged me to try it out.  It was God’s timing because I was coming out of a hurtful relationship with a guy and felt physically and mentally exhausted with life and being gay.  Outpost has given me back a sense of meaning and love of God in my life.  The more sessions I attend, I see God’s love pouring into my life.  I am excited to see what God does next as I continue to go.

I came to Outpost desperate for something new.  I had pursued healing on my own with no freedom in sight.  At Outpost, I quickly learned that I was trying to manage my behavior, not deal with the deep wounds of my heart.  I discovered that Jesus wanted to not only heal those deep wounds, but that He wanted me and wanted to satisfy the longings in my heart in relationship with Him.
