Scripture tells us

At Hope for the Captives, we are searching out truth,

for us and for those we love.

Our God is a God of love, mercy and grace who desires a personal relationship with all of His children. However, we all sin and fall short of the glory of God and are in need of His healing love and compassion.

Those with same sex attractions (SSA) did not choose to have those feelings, just as we, family and friends, did not choose the feelings we have in response to their "coming out". Feelings are not sin. What one does with feelings can lead to sinful practice and a broken relationship with God, family and friends.

God works through His Church to be His hands and feet in bringing His good news of release from the power of sin, and the pain and grief it brings, to our lives and the lives of others.

We cannot change others, or solve their problems. We can only allow Christ to change ourselves. It is our desire to provide a safe, confidential place of prayer and support for each of us, as family and friends of those with SSA, to ask questions, search for answers, and begin to experience the transforming power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We will then be prepared to share that same power of love and transformation with those we love as the Lord leads us.
