I am happy to recommend Wayne Blakely and his ministry without any hesitation. Wayne is a faithful Seventh-day Adventist Christian, active in his local congregation and with a growing outreach which keeps him busy working for the Lord.

After nearly 40 years living openly as a gay man, Wayne became convicted that he had been self-centered instead of Christ-centered. Through a deep and ongoing encounter with Jesus, his life and his focus have been transformed. Wayne has now founded “Know His Love Ministries.” Rather than urging gay people to become heterosexual he encourages them, indeed all of us, to live a Christ-centered life.

Don’t Hide God’s Transforming Love – It’s Fatal

What’s the meaning of love my friend, my brother and sister in Jesus? Have you abdicated from the original meaning? Have you muddied its value? “Just love them!” “We all just need to love one another.” “Just be yourself!” “Just make them ‘feel’ loved.”  Okay… So...
