meeting.“We believe that it’s an issue obviously that has caused a pretty big divide in our society today,"he told Family News in Focus."The Portland-Vancouver metro area is one of those areas that has a high percentage of homosexuality.”For those who struggle with unwanted same-sex attractions,Love Won Out offers the Gospel hope that these desires can be overcome.Melissa Fryrear,a speaker for the conference,said it will also give special attention to families of those who are living in homosexuality.“Christian families contact us wanting to know what’s the best way to respond, because they want to uphold what they believe biblically about homosexuality,and of course they want to respond compassionately to their lived ones,”she said.“There are thousands of men and women around the world who have overcome homosexuality.And that’s part of our messaging as well,that if someone is dissatisfied with living homosexually,there’s hope for them that this is something that they can overcome through their relationship with Christ.”
