Bailee (USA)

Meet Bailee

Bailee always wanted acceptance from other people. She talks about how she self-identified as gay and socialized with atheists and agnostics. She pushed-out any thoughts of God, and hated Christians because of bullying she received from Christians. God worked through Bailee’s College friends to show her what He was really like and that the Bible is true. Bailee accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. She no longer craves approval from others because of Jesus’ acceptance of her. She is excited about the plans God has for her life.

Becket (USA)

Meet Becket

Becket shares how he thought being gay was his identity. Despite the Hollywood high-life, he lacked meaning and purpose. Becket felt drawn to Christianity even though he felt he could never have a place in it because of his homosexual identity. Becket was invited to a Bible-preaching church. There Jesus Christ revealed truth to Becket and radically transformed his life. He now understands homosexuality was not his true identity at all. He wants other people who are involved in a homosexual lifestyle to understand that God wants to have an eternal relationship with them too, and that being gay is not who they are.
