PAT LAWRENCE was drawn into homosexuality as a teen after struggling with her sense of self and with a series of events in her life. When a friend took her to a gay bar, her first words were, “Now I know where I belong.” It felt like home. She was 17 years old. However, she discovered gay relationships could not copy the loving relationship she'd seen in her parents. She used alcohol and drugs to numb the pain and disappointment. After years of disappointment with lesbian relationships, a friend encouraged her to talk to God about her messed-up life. God responded telling Pat "All I’ve ever wanted was you. I love you for who you are.” To this Pat responded "If You want me, You can have me.” She didn't change overnight but God did draw her out of homosexuality, working deep and lasting change. Then He called her to minister to others who were affected by homosexuality. She was a founder of New Direction for Life Ministries, served on the Exodus International, North America board and is now the executive director of Exodus Global Alliance.
