Reconciliation Ministries offers

Reconciliation Ministries offers Living Waters, a Christ-centered discipleship/ministry program for men and women seeking healing in areas of sexual and relational brokenness including pornography addiction, sexual addiction, homosexuality, sexual ambivalence, childhood sexual abuse, transgender issues, and difficulty in establishing and sustaining healthy intimacy in relationships. The program runs for twenty weeks, and includes worship, a large group teaching time, and small group ministry with an emphasis on healing prayer.

Here are some powerful testimonies from participants who had their lives changed in the Living Waters program through the power of Jesus Christ. These quotes are used with the permission of the participants.

I’m not the same anymore – it really has made a difference.

I needed to know I wasn’t the only one going through these things.

A female participant

I got a lot out of the teachings because the teachers shared their life experiences.

I came in with thirteen years of recovery from drug addiction and alcoholism. My relationships were disastrous. I was divorced twice, and at the end of my rope relationally. Not wanting to repeat the past, but heal and go forward to develop a healthy concept of who God has created me to be was a huge need when I came in to Living Waters. I am grateful because the Lord has met me in a very special way. Through the work of diving in daily for the week’s lessons I have been set free from relational bondages and plan to go forward and help others so they too can experience freedom in Christ through these principles of recovery in Living Waters. Thanks for being here.

I came with walls all around my heart. I didn’t want to talk of the sins I did. The Lord put me in with a group of guys that understood where I was at and could discern my manipulative ways. That is what I needed. The Lord used these men to really point out what I needed to hear. It hurt at times but I listened and thought about what they said throughout the week and it really helped.

God is so good. My life was in shambles, falling apart. Marriage was shaky. Life was worse. The Lord stepped in and allowed me to be found out time and time again no matter how I tried to hide. He would swing the door wide open revealing secrets I tried to protect – the pornography, womanizing, lying, the hypocrisy of my life. He told me to get right. Then a brother came alongside and told me about Living Waters. My life has been blessed since I got serious and got real with God.

I came to Living Waters angry and without hope as my husband, a sex addict, could not open himself to me emotionally or sexually. I had resorted to rage, belittling, condemnation and shaming to express my pain and loss and anger towards my husband. I hated him for his shameful weakness, and let him know it – no holding back! Soon, in Living Waters, I came to realize that my husband’s addiction was drawing out my own need for healing. Instead of isolating from God and the church I needed to learn to trust and lean into the healing power of the cross. I learned, not from a teaching perspective, but from an experiential perspective, how much God loves me and desires me to love Him first. I had put my marriage and need for my husband’s love above God. I am thankful for the program, and the restoration of a relationship with God first, and my husband.

A female participant

While enduring a terrible marriage I was looking for a way to relieve the huge amount of stress in my life. One night on my way home from night school, the evil one suggested that I do something that I had quit doing many years before – cross dressing. I jumped at the chance and soon could no longer satisfy my cravings with occasional dressing up, so I got a divorce and began living as a woman. I eventually succumbed totally and had surgery in my efforts to look more and more like a woman. I still was not satisfied but could do nothing else to myself. Then God worked through a friend of mine and got me involved in a group that opened my eyes and began clearing my head. After a year of this I resolved to go back to being a man but knew I needed help. By God’s grace I found Living Waters and am now solidly grounded in Christ and living completely as a man.
