“Living Hope Ministries has been a huge asset and partner for The Village in walking individuals towards God and away from bondage. It has been an amazing benefit to take people impacted by the Biblical discipleship Living Hope offers, and then continue to teach them to walk in the light and freedom in Christ within our fellowship.

Historically the church has been passive or openly hostile towards homosexuality. The Living Hope conference has educated our lay persons, staff, elders, and strugglers of homosexuality about the hope and truth the Scriptures offer people.

Our partnership with Living Hope has created a desire within our church to not run away from the issue of homosexuality, but to engage with love, grace, and truth. This is what the church has lost sight of and the Living Hope conference seeks to equip people to address these issues.”

“We want to encourage you to consider how God can work through you and your church to reach men and women who struggle with homosexuality.”
Dr. Richard Land, President, Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

“Thousands of people long to be free from the struggle with homosexuality. God is looking for people who will reach out with His saving, healing love through Jesus Christ. We pray you will make yourself available.”
Dr. Jimmy Draper, Task Force Chairman, Former President and CEO, Lifeway Christian Resources

“Living Hope, Lasting Change offers churches a great opportunity to understand the unique challenges of ministry to homosexuals. Many men and women trapped in this lifestyle want out, but they don’t know where to turn. This conference will help church leadership and members to develop ministries that can help homosexuals leave their destructive lifestyles and find real, lasting peace through Christ. Living hope, lasting change–that’s what the church is all about. This conference can help churches extend that blessing to thousands of men and women looking for God’s help. I enthusiastically encourage you to attend.”
Barrett Duke, Ph.D., Vice President for Public Policy and Research The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission, Southern Baptist Convention

Thank God for the Living Hope Lasting Change conference! Finally…some real answers.
What a tremendous blessing for our church to partner with Living Hope in bringing the message of hope, healing and Lasting Change to a hurting world.

I have found that as a result of this conference our church is able to discuss sensitive issues that had formerly been “swept under the carpet.”

When local churches wake up, stop trying to ignore the challenges of our generation and actually begin to wrestle with real life issues that are impacting individual lives, only then we will see God’s grace, and His healing come to families, friends, communities and ultimately to the body of Christ. Loving Christ by loving others!
Wow! This conference is First Class! I can’t wait to have Living Hope Lasting Change come back for another conference.

Living Hope is a wonderful partner for any church or any ministry. Their focus on Christ is constant, their love for the struggling is consistent, and their heart for the hurting is committed. I am thankful for a ministry to which I can refer those who struggle because I know their Bible-based program of help will honor the Lord and minister grace to the individual. The Living Hope/Lasting Change Conference we had here at Cleburne’s First Baptist Church was well-organized and made good use of the time. It met the need of information for those just learning about the ministry as well as the need for caring concern for those who are struggling. I heartily recommend the ministry of Living Hope!
