Introducing: Free of Egypt
Outreach for those in Homosexuality
In 1994 I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. The Lord began to minister to me about my homosexual lifestyle. He told me how he loved me and cherished me as his own. I heard the gospel of my Lord and Savior and was completely delivered from Egypt. I had been a slave in bondage to a spirit of perversion that had manifested itself lesbianism, bisexuality, and sex addiction. THANK GOD FOR DELIVERANCE AND FREEDOM! God loves His creation and He has a plan for each and every one of our lives. I know from experience and believe that only Jesus Christ can deliver and set us free. I believe we can then live a victorious and prosperous life. I do to this day!
If we are willing, He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly all that we can ever hope for!
John 8:36: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed!
