I’m happy to introduce you to Clay Allen and the ministry entitled, ‘AVENUE.’ It’s a resource for healthy sexuality. Pastor, friend, you know as well as I do that nothing is breaking people apart more drastically, more devastatingly than sexual issues in our society today. Clay’s ministry was welcomed on our campus recently when we conducted the King’s College and Seminary Special Study on Sexual Addiction. We must be equipped to deal with brokenness that comes to people caught up in sexual addiction, and, to train others in our church family to minister to the needs of those struggling in this way. Clay’s ministry is effective in doing just that.

Clay Allen is one of the men I’ve seen go through a genuinely miraculous transformation wrought by Christ from sexual addiction. No one I know personally has a better grasp of the recovery material presented in AVENUE. There is no ministry more needed among men of all churches today that AVENUE. All too frequently, as I travel and speak to men’s groups and ask them to respond if they have a need for sexual purity, 60-90% of the room will stand. Nothing else gets that kind of response. The great apostle Paul begged us to give our bodies as a living sacrifice to God (Rom. 12:1). That’s what AVENUE does for men. And though I am no apostle, I feel no shame in begging you to give AVENUE a chance with the men you influence. Some of their lives, families, and destinies may depend upon your decision to do something about this issue. Our prayers are with you and your men as you think on these things.

I consider it a joy and a privilege to recommend Clay and Susan Allen and the ministry of AVENUE. At the outset, I want to say that I know of no finer couple. My relationship with them extends over several years which has included a warm personal friendship as well as my speaking at their church, East Bay Fellowship, several times. Their lives have always impacted me because of their sole desire to faithfully serve our Lord and His people. Clay is a gifted teacher and communicator. His ministry is balanced, sound and sensible. He is sensitive to the needs of others. Clay and Susan have a proven track record in ministry and are highly regarded and deeply loved. From my perspective, their love, care and concern for people is what makes them stand head and shoulders above others. I strongly recommend the ministry of Clay and Susan Allen to you, and I believe they’d be a great blessing.

In over twenty years of counseling and program development, I’ve worked with countless men suffering problems with addiction to pornography and anger. It is a great relief to now refer many of these men to a program such as AVENUE, where I’m confident they will have their very best chance of healing and lasting change in a Christ-centered format. AVENUE is a wonderful resource for any pastor or counselor.

I endorse the AVENUE healing programs whole-heartedly. As a therapist I have found a need to refer clients that needed specialized group work to make progress in their life and to gain ground. AVENUE is a Biblically based program that simply doesn’t shame and guilt people into a paradigm of “just get in line.” The Lord raised up this ministry as a work in the church where people can feel safe and come to grips with truth while experiencing grace in their healing. In evaluating the AVENUE program and the growth of those I’ve referred, there is nothing that even comes close in my clients’ development. AVENUE materials are Biblically centered and psychologically savvy. They are more than 'feel good' or simply a believe-and do approach. They are relevant, straight forward, non-compromising, offering hope to those that have felt awash and without much hope. I am excited to see how God continues to expand His vision with AVENUE. I refer all my clients with sexual issues to the AVENUE program and will continue to do so.
