"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)

​

If you haven't read my story yet, it's probably best to start there. I know it's a bit long, but it gives you a relatively detailed account of where I'm coming from and how I met Jesus, and even a glimpse of what my life is like now and why I created this website.

​

The idea of building an online presence was born out of a couple of YouTube comments that I wrote shortly after I got converted. Neither of them was intended to generate a lot of discussion, only to provide a brief, first-hand perspective on life as a same-sex-attracted Christian – you know, just in case someone decided to scroll down to the comments section to glance through what completely random strangers had to say about a topic of their interest. But as it turned out, my posts received way more attention than I expected them to. I got a very large number of public and private replies, some of which even developed into short but meaningful little conversations. To my great delight, many people were genuinely encouraged by my testimony, and praised God for the things He had done in my life.

​

That is when I had an idea. What if I created a platform that is entirely dedicated to that purpose – to encouraging others, and through that, to the glory of God? How about . . . a website? A website where I talk honestly about my experience, and even make myself available for people to talk to me personally if they want to. That sounded a bit daunting at first, but I felt like it would be totally worth the effort, so I began praying for guidance and wisdom. The more I thought and prayed about it, the more convinced I became that God was calling me to this ministry – not to keep what He has given me to myself, but to share it with all who need it just as much as I do.

​

The very fact that you're reading these lines is proof that God has been with me in this, and started something that I'm really excited about. He has been tremendously gracious to me, and I believe He wants to use my life in this new and potentially far-reaching way to bless others as well. Now, that doesn't mean I'm all sorted, and the last thing I want to do here is pretend to be someone I'm not. I don't know all the answers. I probably don't even know all the questions. I'm still learning. I'm still struggling. I'm still pressing on. To put it as simply as I can, I'm one of you. But that's not the same as saying I have nothing to give. Especially to those whose challenges and temptations I'm way too familiar with. To those who feel lonely, ashamed, confused, miserable, and perhaps worst of all, hopeless. Honestly, if I could go back in time and talk to my younger self who had been through all that, I would. But I want to help others just as much, if not even more.

​

Which brings me to the actual purpose of this website. My goal here is to honour God and to minister to other same-sex-attracted Christians (and anyone else who may benefit from my work) by sharing my life with you all. My hope and prayer is that I will be able to integrate sound, biblical truth with my personal experience in such a way that the result is authentic, specific, practical and genuinely helpful. I'd like to create a growing collection of testimonies to let you in on my joys and sorrows, and to show you what God has done and continues to do in my life.

​

Not that I'm some spiritual giant, on the contrary, I'm quite wretched in a number of ways. I'm in desperate need of grace, just like you. But I've received comfort from God and I'd like to share it with you. That is Paul's aim in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, which I regard as one of the scriptural cornerstones of my ministry here. With that in mind, let me encourage you to have a look at the articles I've written so far, and if you find them helpful, make sure to check back regularly, because there's always more material on the way.

God bless you and feel free to get in touch. I'd love to hear from you.
