Exodus International - Exodus Launches New Resources for Pastors

Orlando, FL- As the issue of homosexuality continues to be a topic of contention within many church denominations, Exodus International is launching a new website and a new resource for pastors wanting to respond to this issue with biblical truth and Christ-like compassion.

The website, www.exoduschurchassociation.org, features relevant news impacting the church, resources for pastors, a speaker's bureau and in-depth articles that address tough questions many pastors face about homosexuality. The website is an extension of the Exodus Church Association - a national network of more than 120 churches helping those dealing with same-sex attraction to live a life that reflects the Christian faith.

In addition, Harvest House Publishers has just released a new Exodus resource for youth pastors that will help foster dialogue about sexuality and faith in a DVD entitled The Question of Homosexuality: A Conversation for Youth About Same-Sex Attraction. This resource features short discussion segments that include powerful testimonies and tackles tough questions such as: What does God say about homosexuality in the Bible? How should we respond to friends who struggle with homosexual feelings? Can homosexuals change?

"Homosexuality is one of the most challenging issues facing the Christian church today, but also one of the greatest opportunities we have to share the bold love and compassionate truth of Jesus Christ," said Jeff Buchanan, pastor and Director of the Exodus Church Association. "Our goal is to empower pastors to meet this challenge so that many will find the freedom so many of us have experienced first-hand."
