As a same-sex attracted Christian I have benefited from the witness and teaching of TFT, and the time I have spent at TFT conferences with like-minded people has been a huge source of joy, fun and inspiration. They provide much-needed love, support and care from within a biblical framework in a world which often does not understand the counter-cultural way that Jesus calls us to live.

Our fellowship was greatly blessed by the recent visit of a speaker from TFT. What we learned about this important ministry and the work it does was deeply encouraging. The current cultural pressures facing the church in the area of sexuality make it vital that we support biblical organisations such as this one.

My first contact with TFT started when I was 27, struggling with same-sex attraction. When I look back I realise how supportive and encouraging it has been specifically with my Afro-Caribbean background. Today I am happy serving the Lord in full time ministry. I know God loves me and uses me for the advance of His kingdom.

The first time I went to my Barnabas Support Group, I felt great relief and a lot of pain subsided - feeling free to speak and to listen to others.

It is a privilege and pleasure to commend the great work that TFT does, both in upholding orthodox Biblical teaching on love, sex and marriage, and pastorally helping and supporting those who experience same-sex attraction to live faithfully as disciples of Jesus, the Son of God. In the present climate the work TFT does is supremely valuable.
