"As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another." Prov 27:17
This program provides an avenue in conquering inappropriate sexual behavior or anger via:
- Creating safe, confidential small group environments
- Volunteer leadership by men who care about you and your family because they've been there
- Effectively identifying and healing root causes that transform both you and your detrimental habits
- Encouragement and reward through accountability
- Education to overcome faulty beliefs
Many men embrace
healing and recovery through this program after having tried
other programs. Others complain before entering this program
that no program could possibly
help them. While they are complaining
saying "it can't be done," God typically
interrupts them by introducing
them to an effective program that works, or, by showing them
someone who has actually achieved healing and recovery. God has
provided
men an avenue of escaping sexual
addiction because He loves them. It's then up to men to take
notice and to take action in embracing the kind of help that's
being offered here.
Men in this program have varying degrees of faith in Jesus Christ - some none at all.
We want to be the first to say that that is okay. We're not here to force-feed men
anything. What we hope is that at some point men develop and/or strengthen their
faith in Jesus as their healing advances in and through this program.
AVENUE - For Men works because it's an avenue for men to change
their character, not just their behavior, through the mighty power
of Jesus Christ and not just
through their own power. Many
men joining this program are going through the most difficult and
challenging time in their lives and are crying out to be "rescued."
It's in these tough times that great character has a chance to spawn.
Healing from inappropriate sexual behavior is often the gateway to God's
destiny in men's lives, a destiny that is unreachable without having
gone through this healing process.
In this sense,
this program is far more than an operation of rescue - it's an
operation of destiny. "Operation Destiny" is
all about a man's opportunity to become the man God designed
him to be - an honorable and courageous man of
eminent faith and action who
greatly impacts the world around him; One who establishes a legacy
of nobility for others to follow.
We pray that
every man struggling with inappropriate sexual behavior who comes
into contact with this material discovers what hope, freedom
and "God's Abundant Life" is
all about and how to experience
them for the sake of himself and his family, or future family.
