Organizations Filed Purposes:
OUR MISSION IS TO SHAPE A WORLD FREE OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND BROKENNESS BY PROVIDING CHRISTIAN SOLUTIONS IN A SEXUALIZED CULTURE. WE EQUIP PARENTS AND COLLEGE STUDENTS TO LEAD A LIFESTYLE OF PRAYER, UNDERSTANDING, RESOLVE, AND ENGAGEMENT THAT PURSUES JESUS, CULTIVATES HEALING AND FREEDOM, AND LIVES OUT THE CLASSIC CHRISTIAN SEXUAL ETHIC, INCLUDING FIDELITY AND EXCLUSIVITY WITHIN THE "ONE FLESH" MARITAL UNION OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN, AND CELIBACY IN SINGLENESS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE GIFTS FROM GOD.
OUR VISION IS A WORLD FREE OF SEXUAL BROKENNESS. IT IS BOLD, BUT IT IS SURE-JESUS WILL RETURN AND MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. UNTIL THAT DAY, WE EQUIP FOLLOWERS OF JESUS TO PURSUE A WORLD FREE BY SIMPLY PURSUING MORE OF HIM. THROUGH WORLD-CLASS RESOURCES, PERSONAL MINISTRY, CONSULTING, SPEAKING, AND EVENTS WE HELP BELIEVERS FLOURISH IN THIS SEXUALLY BROKEN WORLD AND LEAD THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES TO DO THE SAME. WE ARE EQUIPPING PEOPLE TO SHARE GOD'S STORY OF SEX WITH CONFIDENCE AND TO NAVIGATE A SEXUALIZED, DIGITAL AGE WITH HOPE AND TO POINT THEM TO JESUS, OUR TRUE PURE HOPE, THROUGH A LIFESTYLE OF PRAYER, UNDERSTANDING, RESOLVE AND ENGAGEMENT. AS WE ASK OUR CONSTITUENTS TO PRAY ABOUT THIS ISSUE, UNDERSTAND ITS IMPACT ON OUR CULTURE AND LEARN HOW TO RESPOND, RESOLVE TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THEIR OWN PERSONAL PURITY, AND THEN ENGAGE WITH OUR WORK TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE CULTURE, HOPE IS IMPARTED TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ACROSS THE NATION. THROUGH TRANSFORMATIVE CONTENT, CONFERENCES AND CONSULTING, WE PROCLAIM JESUS AS OUR PURE HOPE. IT IS ONLY THROUGH HIM THAT WE CAN EXPERIENCE AND MODEL THE PURSUIT OF GOD'S LOVE, PURITY, AND JUSTICE IN A SEXUALIZED CULTURE. OUR PARENTING RESOURCE, QUEST: PARENTING IN A SEXUALIZED CULTURES, IS A 4- MODULE SMALL GROUP VIDEO ENHANCED TEACHING SERIES ABOUT PARENTING IN THIS SEXUALIZED, DIGITAL AGE. THE SERIES INCLUDES 4 VIDEO MODULES (STREAM OR DVD), THE STUDY, AND THE LEADER'S GUIDE. THIS RESOURCE REACHES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THROUGH CHURCHES, CAMPUSES, SMALL-GROUPS, AND PLATFORMS LIKE RIGHTNOW MEDIA. QUEST RESPONDS TO THE FOUR MOST PRESSING QUESTIONS PARENTS ARE ASKING IN OUR CULTURE: 1) WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY I SHOULD BELIEVE ABOUT SEX? 2) HOW DO I TALK TO MY KIDS ABOUT IT? 3) HOW DO I MANAGE MY FAMILY'S TECHNOLOGY USE? AND 4) HOW CAN I LEAD MY KIDS WHEN I'M NOT PERFECT MYSELF? LEADERS AROUND THE NATION ARE EMPLOYING IT. AS ONE PASTOR HAS SAID: "THIS IS THE MOST PRACTICAL CURRICULUM AND A 'MUST' FOR EVERY 21ST CENTURY PARENT" ANOTHER PASTOR COMMENTED: "OUR RESPONSE TO THE QUEST MATERIAL WAS ALL GREAT THESE VIDEOS ARE THE BEST WE HAVE FOUND FOR THESE IMPORTANT TOPICS. EVEN PARENTS WHO SERVE IN PARA CHURCH MINISTRIES WERE REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE CONTENT. THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO CREATING AMAZING RESOURCES FOR THE CHURCH." THIS YEAR, TWO STAFF MEMBERS WERE ADDED TO OUR TEAM--DAN MARTIN AS OUR MINISTRY RELATIONSHIP DIRECTOR AND JOSHUA LIVINGSTON AS OUR VICE PRESIDENT. IN ADDITION TO RAMPING UP STAFF, OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS GREW AS WELL. IN THE FIRST HALF OF OUR FISCAL YEAR WE HELD 13 IN-PERSON EVENTS REACHING OVER 2,000 PEOPLE. IT IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT TO SAY THAT THE SECOND HALF OF OUR FISCAL YEAR WAS VERY DIFFERENT DUE TO THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19. IN MANY WAYS IT CAUSED OUR STAFF TO LEAN INTO THE LORD AND HIS DIRECTION FOR THIS IMPORTANT WORK. THE MESSAGE OF "HOPE" TOOK ON AN EVEN GREATER MEANING. SINCE THE QUARANTINE, WE HELD A VIRTUAL CONFERENCE IN PAKISTAN FOR STUDENTS AND A 2-DAY VIRTUAL CONFERENCE IN ZAMBIA FOR LEADERS WITH 2,000+ IN ATTENDANCE. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF SEASON 2 OF OUR WORLD FREE PODCAST WHEN WE HAD TO SUSPEND PRODUCTION DUE TO COVID-19. WE RELEASED 7 OF THE PLANNED 15 EPISODES AND LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING A NEW FORMAT AND FULL SEASON IN 2021. WE WERE PRIVILEGED TO BE FEATURED AS GUESTS ON SEVEN OTHER PODCASTS AS WELL. WHEN IN-PERSON CONFERENCES WERE PUT ON HOLD, WE PRODUCED AND HELD TWO PARENTING WEBINARS AND WILL CONTINUE TO OFFER THEM GOING FORWARD. TENS OF THOUSANDS FROM 142 COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN EMPOWERED THROUGH OUR DIGITAL AND HARD COPY RESOURCES, NEWSLETTERS, JOURNAL, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND CONTENT ON OTHER POPULAR PLATFORMS. LAST YEAR WE TRANSLATED RESOURCES TO REACH OUR GROWING INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE INCLUDING SPANISH-SPEAKERS AND FRANCOPHONE AFRICAN NATIONS, WE RELEASED AN E-DEVOTIONAL TO HELP OUR AUDIENCE DIVE DEEPER IN GOD'S STORY OF SEX AND SALVATION, AND WE RELEASED A READING PLAN ON THE BIBLE APP POINTING THOUSANDS OF READERS TO GOD'S WORD ON THE SUBJECT OF SEX. MOST RECENTLY, DURING THE PANDEMIC WE WROTE FIVE SESSIONS TO BE USED BY LEADERS TO TRAIN THEM TO TEACH THIS MATERIAL TO OTHERS. WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF RECORDING THESE SESSIONS AND THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF 2020. THERE IS NO GREATER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW FOR THE MESSAGE OF PUREHOPE TO EXPAND AND GROW AS WE REACH MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD. WE HAVE MANY NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND WE ARE PRAYING WE WILL BE ABLE TO RESUME IN-PERSON TRAINING SOON.
