I have experienced transformation, sound teachings and nurturing guidance from the Exodus leaders at these conferences. Workshops gave fresh perspective and better equipped me to walk out my personal journey. Through the prayer times with the Prayer Team, the Lord was able to take back ground that the enemy had stolen in my life. It was so meaningful to have people there to approach the throne of God and intercede for me. I have received many blessings including friendships with women who I’ve met through the Oasis Room who have become precious sisters in Christ and who still challenge me to love the Lord and hold me accountable. I believe the Lord gave me these opportunities to attend Exodus so that He could better equip me to go back to my church, work place, and home to declare the freedom that God had given me and that He desires to give to all who seek Him

Picture the prodigal son returning home, and his father throws a huge party. Now imagine that there isn’t just one son returning but a thousand who come home on the same night. That is what the closing communion service was like for me the first time I attended an Exodus Freedom Conference. I had just experienced the most awesome week of my life hearing from respected teachers and swapping stories with so many people who had similar backgrounds. I found freedom by being able to open up my heart to new friends who made me feel welcomed and accepted; freedom in opening my heart to the Lord in a new way, and this communion service was the beginning of a new relationship with my heavenly Father. The other reason I celebrated was that I knew that I was one of hundreds who would return home with our newfound freedom and affect our churches and communities. Each year as I return to the conference, I am able to take someone else with me. There is plenty of room at this party! - Tony, Conference Volunteer

I wasn’t sure what to expect [at my first conference]...so I was a little apprehensive about the experience. It was such a relief to find that my concerns vanished and instead they were replaced with a genuine love and burden for those who struggle with same-sex attractions and for those who minister to them. Each year, the conference continues to challenge me and inspire me not only in my own journey but in seeing the lives and hearing the stories of so many others who minister and struggle. - Jeff, husband

I began attending as a spouse of someone who has been delivered from the bondage of homosexuality and now I’m involved in bringing the message of freedom to others. I initially wondered if I would feel out of place, due to my lack of experience with the struggle of same sex attraction. Instead, I found a group of individuals that were more aware than most of their desperate need for a Savior; those that had tasted from the bitter waters of life and had discovered or were discovering the well of Living Water. They had much in common with me. I would sincerely ask lay people to seriously consider attending the next conference. They will be blessed and ministered to and will also come away feeling equipped to reach out to this precious group of people. - Angela, Jeff's wife

For years I was on a quest to find Christian resources to pass on to family, friends and acquaintances that have shared with me their stories of struggling with same-sex attractions. I searched for teaching and training for people like myself, to become better equipped to answer their questions and walk with them through their journey out of homosexuality. [Eventually, I came to attend my first conference, which] offers Christ-centered training, resources, teaching, information and relationship to those who struggle with homosexuality as well as those who, like myself, want to learn more in order to help our families, friends and acquaintances. Prayerfully consider attending this year! - Julie, friend

Imagine being in a place where people were open and honest about the issues and struggles they were facing, a place where masks and facades were replaced with raw emotion and realness. Where you could be vulnerable; talk about things that were in the dark places of your heart and not find condemnation, but instead find love and acceptance. Imagine people who - despite what the world says - seek freedom from a bondage that many people face, but very few talk about. The truth is, I didn’t have to imagine this. This was a reality for me as I attended the Exodus Freedom Conference. In every session, it was emphasized that the issue of homosexuality and dealing with it and overcoming it starts by becoming more intimate with God... the Truth will set you free. - Tim, 20-something youth

Attending the Exodus Conference, instantly removed was the veil of shame and guessing about my struggle and gave me a community that fully understood. All the while, walking in the light while growing deeper in my walk with purity. Walking in the light about my struggle has not always been top priority in the past. After attending the Exodus Conference, it gave me restored hope, truth, faith and a community that understood my struggle and challenged me to grow in purity and in my identity in the Lord.
- Curtis, 20-something youth

The Freedom Conference was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. It is incredible to be in praise and worship with close to 1,000 people who are sharing the same heartache in one way or another. To watch those who have come out of the lifestyle so freely worshipping the One who set them free was unlike any worship experience I have ever been a part of.
- Angela, parent

Going to Exodus, attending the workshops and hearing the testimonies have helped us as parents to understand the issues and how we should deal with them. We wanted to know how to love our son without compromising God’s Word. Meeting those who have come out of the lifestyle gave hope to us that our son could walk away from homosexuality. What draws us back to Exodus every year is the love we see in those who have fought to walk away from this destructive lifestyle. We leave the conference each year enriched and more alive. We thank God for making it possible for us to have attended the past 7 conferences and we are excited about going to the Exodus conference in Indiana this year.
- Jan & Ted Schneider, parents

The Exodus Freedom Conference is the best-kept secret in the world of today’s gospel conferences. Looking for hope, after the murder of our only child in his struggles of finding help to leave homosexuality, God sent us to an Exodus Conference and its nearest ministry for help. They have been so much more than we ever dreamed of and already have plans made for Indiana this summer! They truly offer hope, education and support for the struggler and loved ones. - Joe & Marion Allen, parents
