Friends, you probably see it as well as we do — this world is getting darker and more confused day by day. People are hurting in both familiar and new ways. Mental health issues, fear, uncertainty, and profound loneliness are just a few of the struggles experienced by a vastly growing number. Increased political hostility, comparison, isolation, lack of gender-wholeness, and violated boundaries have all ratcheted up the level of discord in our country.

Additionally, a staggering 39% of surveyed 18-24 year olds now identify as LGBTQ+ according to the October 2021 research published by George Barna with the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University.¹ While this survey doesn’t tell the whole story (the report was based on the response of 600 Millennials, 18-37 year olds), it is alarming nonetheless.

None of this confusion should take us completely by surprise because Satan never takes a day off. However, the biggest problem is most churches are ill-equipped to deal with the wide variety of pain and struggles now faced by those in their care.

God, in His great mercy and grace, has raised up Love & Truth Network "for such a time as this" (Esther 4:14) meeting today's tsunami of attacks on godly wisdom, life, and Christians who want to honor God and walk well during our sojourn in this world.

Seminaries and Bible colleges have not fully prepared today's church leaders for Satan's unbridled moral attacks and legal challenges, persecutions, youth indoctrination, bizarre truth claims ("men give birth"), and philosophies “raised up against the knowledge of God” (II Cor 10:5) and His Word. Love & Truth Network is helping Christians and leaders rebuild and strengthen the foundations that lead to life and flourishing. They lovingly and truthfully address the great need for hope, healing, and restoration in churches across our country.

Pastors and church leaders are hungry for the wisdom and knowledge Garry and Melissa Ingraham bring, especially because of their unique perspective — having themselves been rescued out of sexual sin, identity confusion, and homosexuality.

Love & Truth Network is working to multiply its effectiveness by:

• Producing high-quality video training

• Greatly expanding their radio and podcast appearances

• Developing their own weekly podcast

• Writing and publishing relevant books

• Offering both in-person and online teaching and equipping

• Exclusive online mentoring and training for cohorts of pastors

• Sharing messages of hope and help across a wide variety of social media

These improvements and additions will allow more church leaders and Christians to receive vital instruction. As supporters of this ministry, we’re excited for these projects to enable many more churches to become deeply transformational environments, sharing the love and invitation of Jesus Christ in powerful ways.

We are also very excited that two generous partners have stepped up to encourage first-time donors (individuals & churches) to give before the end of 2021 by multiplying any new gift to Love & Truth Network with a dollar-for-dollar matching gift of up to $15,000. So any qualifying gift will be multiplied by 200%.

Will you join us in helping to supply the funds necessary for this ministry to equip today's churches to meet today's challenges?

Committed to bringing His Love & Truth,
