You are not alone! This is your chance to meet people who understand. Every year, more than half of our delegates experience this conference for the first time. We have prepared dozens of workshops just for you, and our teachers know what they are talking about. So come, be equipped, and learn from others who understand.

From Previous Conferences

Parents

I enjoyed the opportunity to talk with people one-on-one about my experiences and theirs. Everyone seemed honest and genuine in their responses; the Conference inspires it. - Fred, father

I went from self pity and despair to hope. I fell more in love with Jesus from my encounters with His great power, mercy and love. I fell more in love with my precious daughter who is in the lifestyle.
- Babs, mother 

I can't begin to tell you how great it was to hear all of the speakers.  We were blessed beyond description and came home with so much to work with in our small group settings. - Nora, Ohio

Having just found out my daughter is same-sex attracted (SSA), I felt so much love, such a strong presence of the Lord every day at the Freedom Conference. It is valuable for any Christian wanting to strengthen their walk and gain understanding of what gay-identified men & women have endured, and how they can truly receive freedom in Christ. - Janet, mother 

What a joy it was to meet other parents: we prayed together, cried together, encouraged one another and laughed together.   – Parent, North Carolina

Men & Women who have struggled 

I could really feel the power and presence of God in every facet of the conference. I have been struggling in secret for many years, and I so desperately need freedom. The conference gave me the “push” I needed to start my own personal recovery. -    Keith 

It’s hard to communicate all that I felt all the ways that the Lord spoke to me or just how amazing this whole experience has been. The sincerity, the transparency, the humility and the dedication of your leadership and staff is to be commended.  -Female, 53, Pennsylvania

This conference was an incredible blessing. I was not sure what to expect when I first came, but I found people who understood what was going on and showed nothing but love and encouragement to us. It also challenged me spiritually.  - Female, 52 – Indiana

Ministry Leaders, Pastors, and Those Interested in Ministering

Thank you for reminding me that I am not here to have my church have an ex-gay ministry. I am here to proclaim the gospel.  -Female, 64 – Kansas

I feel “full” with all the knowledge I have received and look forward to sharing it eventually back home when we start our own ministry! -Female, 32 – Ontario, Canada

As a pastor beginning to learn how to minister to homosexuals in the church, I leave with the compassion to minister to those struggling, the conviction that God’s mercy and power can overcome the sin, the courage to stand up for my fellow Christians who struggle, and the course to follow as God would use me to lead the church in welcoming home our lost.   -Male, 36 – California

Youth & Students

I came reluctantly and naively thinking that it would all be teens dragged there by their parents and all the speakers would be “holier-than-thou” fire and brimstone preachers, and this was no at all what I found. Thank you for your attitudes and helping me to know what mine should be. -Female, Nebraska

Married Couples

My husband and I attended the 2006 Exodus Conference for the 1st time this year. I have been struggling with SSA for about 18 years now. The conference was amazing and BRAVO to all who worked at making this event a true spiritual fulfillment for the both of us. - Christina

My husband and I will remember the years when we had no place to turn or get help. So glad, joyous and grateful to see so many young people and young couples here! -Female, 64 – OK

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for having this. My husband and I will never be the same. We have hope for our son and now tools as to how we should respond to and treat him. Now we know that we can survive this. See you in California!  -Female, 49 – California

Friends

I still can’t believe that God brought Exodus to my neighborhood! I felt the spirit that came with the conference, and the impact will be far reaching!  I can hardly think about the conference without getting tears in my eyes!  - Woman from Indiana
