LIFE after Lust Ministry

MISSION STATEMENT

To answer the cry of those trapped by Sexual Sin and Pornography, by helping them to restore their broken relationship with God and ultimately regain their joy and freedom only His grace and forgiveness can provide…

PURPOSE

To share our testimony with the world in an effort to try to bring an increased awareness of the epidemic of Pornography in America and offer help to those who desire to defeat addiction and reconnect with God.

 

 

 

Dean & Trish pray Life after Lust Ministries will become a conduit for transparancy, repentance, healing and recovery for a nation addicted to Porn and other Sexual addictions.  As Christians, we are charged with the responsibility of helping each other come to grips with sin and make disciples along the way.  The sin of sexual immorality comes to the world with a secretive and shameful voice.  It’s punch is swift and destructive.  Dean & Trish have seen their lives as well as other men, women and children ruined in it’s path.  It takes faith and courage to step out against it - but they are confident in God’s Power to restore lives and bring healing to everyone who has suffered from the effects of this sin.  Dean & Trish pray for on-going strength and healing for you.
