“Equipped To Love” – Committed to creating (and protecting) safe spaces that foster the transformation that comes through vulnerability with Jesus. For people longing to understand homosexuality better and find resolution to sexual and gender confusion. The ministry offers to individuals, family members, friends and church leaders through consulting, speaking engagements, and online resources.
“Changed Movement” – A community of friends who once identified as LGBTQ+ birthed in response to California legislation that discriminated against Christians with an LGBTQ background. Probably the leading ministry for ensuring that politicians in California, Washington DC and other states hear their stories of change, transformed by Jesus, as advocates countering culture’s cry to silence the Christian, the Church and the counselor from sharing with those with unwanted same-sex attraction. Changed Movement is led by Equipped To Love.
