I, as a mother, would like to offer my testimony of appreciation for
Evergreen International, Inc.
A year ago I learned, via letter, that my son was dealing with
homosexuality. Naturally, I was very sad and distressed. Besides the shock
of this information, I was further disadvantaged because I had no one I
could turn to--to discuss this situation--and I knew not how to deal with it
(for myself and for my son).
Finally, I inquired of a doctor friend, who referred me to a professional
counselor, one who specialized in sexual compulsive behavior, and he
suggested I contact Evergreen. I found the telephone number in the phone
directory and called for help. I received immediate response, a listening
ear, a resource of answers to my questions, and received referrals for
literature and other helpful resources and people.
I am so very grateful that Evergreen--not only the organization, but
especially the wonderful men--was (and is) readily available to provide me
timely help. I listened, read, and learned as fast as I could to bring
myself to a level of understanding, peace, and empowerment in order to deal
with my son's self-acclaimed homosexuality and my own personal disruption.
I have since participated in many activities sponsored by Evergreen,
including conferences and firesides, which has helped me beyond measure.
Although I feel I've benefited more than my son has up to the present, I
feel we have both been greatly helped by this wonderful organization.
Additionally, my family, and select others, have been helped through my
association with Evergreen.
I have found my interaction with those of Evergreen to be warm and
accepting, helpful and non-judgmental. The information and intervention I
have received have been "user-friendly" both in content and delivery.
I whole-heartedly concur with the mission and objective of Evergreen, and
not only desire, but am exercising my influence to further the mission and
the dissemination of the gospel-focused information. Because Evergreen is
based on the love of Jesus Christ and His plan of salvation, the
organization needs to be made available to many thousands of individuals
(and extended individuals), who need help and direction in dealing with
homosexuality and related issues.
