Inaccuracy Shrouds Kirsten Power’s Article

November 18, 2010 By Jeff Buchanan

The following was submitted to USA Today as a Letter to the Editor last week in response to Kirsten Powers article "Hypocrisy shrouds the gay marriage debate." The letter has not been published in their paper as of yet. --- Inaccuracy Shrouds Kirsten Power’s Article As the Director of “Day of Truth 2010”, I am disappointed with the inaccurate perspective of Kirsten Power’s article. Voicing disapproval of homosexuality was not the focus of this event but rather exercising the right to present an alternative message and educating individuals about their choices.

Love Won Out Rockford Illinois this Weekend

September 20, 2010 By Randy Thomas

Love Won Out is this weekend! <-- The exclamation point denotes genuine excitement. I have been to many of LWO's and am blessed at every one. Here are a couple of examples of why: One parent, who recently attended a Love Won Out event, said, “God spoke to me about my need to show more love and acceptance towards our son who is gay and to trust Him to use this in my own life to grow me to be all He wants me to be.” After attending the event, one man wrote, “I came to the conference ready to give up, walk out of my marriage and pursue a gay lifestyle. The conference gave me hope … [Read more...]

Nancy Brown of Life+Guard Ministries in Hospital (Video Update)

May 13, 2010 By Randy Thomas

If you have been wondering why the blog has been so quiet the past couple of days it's because Alan is in Costa Rica for the Exodus Latin America conference.

April 13, 2010 By Randy Thomas

Don't forget that Day of Truth is this Thursday. Focus On The Family did an article on the project yesterday.

While students should engage in respectful discourse about gay issues, Buchanan cautions that some may encounter resistance at school. For that, … [Read more...]
