I get lots of materials from many different Christian organisations, but your newsletter Ascend is the one that I will read and reread. Your leader article was particularly helpful - encouraging and challenging and, as ever, extremely practical for all Christians, including myself, as we seek to resist temptation and walk with Jesus on the road of discipleship.

It is a privilege and pleasure to commend the great work that TFT does, both in upholding orthodox Biblical teaching on love, sex and marriage, and pastorally helping and supporting those who experience same-sex attraction to live faithfully as disciples of Jesus, the Son of God. In the present climate the work TFT does is supremely valuable.

TFT provides me with people to talk to and be with who understand. They have a commitment to a great love for Father, Son and Spirit. I can see that people in TFT experience the great love our Father pours into their hearts. So that’s why they love and obey Him and follow Jesus rather than their other desires.

My first contact with TFT started when I was 27, struggling with same-sex attraction. When I look back I realise how supportive and encouraging it has been specifically with my Afro-Caribbean background. Today I am happy serving the Lord in full time ministry. I know God loves me and uses me for the advance of His kingdom.

The speaker was knowledgeable and gracious as he helped us think things through biblically and practically. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend input from TFT.
