Thank you for your interest in Desert Stream Ministries. In 1980, my pastor encouraged me to start a healing/support group in the church for those seeking to come out of homosexuality. A former homosexual myself, I developed a series of teachings that helped men and women deal honestly with their brokenness and receive healing. The goal? To become life-giving members of the local church.

For both my pastor and myself, one thing became clear--this group was a part of the church, an offering to its members and to outsiders in need of healing. The one group became several, and our focus expanded to include heterosexuals who were broken in their sexuality and relationships.

In 2005, Desert Stream turned 25 years old. Our main goal is to equip lay people in local churches to run any one of a variety of small groups that minister support and healing for the broken. These groups include an 8-week open evangelical format, one for 18-25 year-olds, support for sexual addicts, and Living Waters, an in-depth and inclusive discipleship program.

Whether you are a pastor seeking information or someone in need of help, we hope that our website serves you well.
