Day of Truth Releases New Videos to Assist Students to “Get the Conversation Started” About Faith and Sexuality
March 24, 2010
ORLANDO, FL— On April 15th, Christian high school and college students wanting to demonstrate the love of Christ to their peers have a unique opportunity to do so by participating in the Day of Truth, an annual student-led event dedicated to facilitating dialogue about relationships, sexuality and faith. To promote this year’s theme of Get the Conversation Started, Exodus International has released two new practical videos featuring “man on the street” interviews at a local college. The conversation starters may be accessed both at the Day of Truth website (http://dayoftruth.org) and on YouTube.
"Students today have more questions than ever about life, relationships, sexuality and God. These videos are designed to start an open and casual conversation about these important issues that young people are struggling to understand,” said Jeff Buchanan, who oversees the Day of Truth for Exodus International. "When I was a young man, I struggled with unwanted same-sex attraction and found that God not only had answers, but could change my heart and my life. We hope Christian students across the country will take advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate the love of Christ to peers who may be in a similar situation looking for answers."
The Alliance Defense Fund originally launched the Day of Truth in 2005 to give Christian students an opportunity to express their views about such issues in public schools. Since then, more than 13,000 students have participated in the event. In 2009, the organization announced that it would transition the Day of Truth to Exodus International, the largest ministry addressing faith and same-sex attraction in the world today. At the Day of Truth website, students are encouraged to register for the event and to complete an on-line survey on their views regarding faith, relationships and sexuality.
