Providing The Way Back For The
Providing The Way Back For The Homosexual
Exodus South Pacific
… is a coalition of Christian ministries in the South Pacific region whose prime goal is to offer a way back for those who have gone down the path of HOMOSEXUALITY.
Aims
TO PROVIDE …
Christian and understanding counsel for those who have a problem with homosexuality, so that they may be brought to an awareness of how freedom and wholeness can be theirs through Jesus Christ
TO ASSIST …
Members of families who discover that another member of the family is homosexual, enabling them to cope with their situation and discover how they can help the homosexual member back to wholeness.
TO HELP …
Pastors, youth leaders and counsellors who would like specialised assistance when faced with this problem in their respective areas of operation.
TO EDUCATE …
Churches, schools, community, media and government concerning homosexuality.
Purposes
All ministry is provided on the understanding that homosexuality is considered a learned behavioural response, precipitated by an emotional deficiency early in childhood, which has created a confused identity for the person concerned. Inasmuch as we believe that the person may not be responsible for the conditions which caused the confused identity, they are ultimately responsible for their response to homosexuality, being a decision made for whatever reason.
Whereas we understand homosexuality to be a sin in the sight of God, our intention is to reach out in compassion in the same way that Jesus would have done, to the person who wishes not to be a homosexual in orientation or practice. In providing understanding counsel in a non-judgemental environment Exodus South Pacific endeavours to bring to the person seeking release, an opportunity to express their fears, doubts and needs in an atmosphere of love and confidentiality. In so doing, we believe that it will open the way for the person’s true identity to be restored as God intended it. This in turn will enable them to be released from their homosexuality and find salvation and forgiveness from a loving God through Jesus Christ.
As a Christian Ministry it is our intention that every repentant person (committed to) seeking a way out of homosexuality should become a fully accepted, essential member of the local Christian Church, being a necessary part of their need for acceptance as a new creation in Christ. The Church then becomes the agent whereby the former homosexual is able to grow into maturity, gain emotional wholeness and experience God as their Father.
