Welcome to New Living Way Ministry
New Living Way Ministry is an interdenominational Christian Organisation and a Non Profit Company, registered with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission. We are also in the process of being registered as a Non Profit Organisation with the Department of Social Development. New Living Way Ministry is affiliated with Hospice Palliative Care Association of South Africa to ensure a high standard of care. Our objectives are aimed at serving and reaching out in love to people with same-sex attraction, their families and loved ones and to educate the religious and secular communities about same-sex attraction, from an Evangelical Christian worldview.
Our commitments are honoured by Donor Companies and individuals donating to the ministry. Another source of income will be the community supporting our coffee shop and shops selling clothing, second hand goods, etc., that will be established as it becomes feasible.
Our vision and what we do
Our vision is to have a hospice, an in-patient unit with a home based care service and day care, which will care for patients that have same-sex attraction and that are diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and other life threatening illnesses. Qualified staff will assist people in need of being tested for HIV/AIDS. The staff will also be equipped with the knowledge of Palliative Care. This service will be delivered by an Interdisciplinary Palliative Care team to patients in the hospice, their homes, hospitals, clinics and other care facilities.
A residential program will care holistically for people with unwanted same-sex attraction. This residential program will be followed up by an outpatient program and support groups. At present we serve people with unwanted same-sex attraction, and who wants to explore their hetero-sexual potential, by means of counselling and therapy.
Temporary accommodation will provide shelter and care for same-sex attracted men and woman who are homeless and destitute due to a variety of circumstances.
Our services extend to people having same-sex attraction who involve themselves in prostitution.
On the premises a chapel, where services are held during the week and Sundays, will serve as part of our spiritual outreach to people with same-sex attraction.
Being a counselling and educational organisation, we endeavour to empower men, women, and children to heal from past and present wounds, releasing them to live a powerful life, and to fulfil their destiny.
We educate the religious and secular communities about same-sex attraction and early intervention, by means of lectures, training and any other means we might find appropriate. We work to promote healthy individuals, families, communities, churches and relationships.
Our commitment
We value the right of individuals to live life as they desire, and love and accept them just as they are. We accompany everyone on their journey to wholeness and affirm their right of self-determination, self-acceptance, and self-discovery, while respecting their faith and values and how it might impact their choices.
Not being ignorant of the fact that some terms like "homosexual," "homosexual community," "homosexual lifestyle" or "he is a homosexual," etc. might be offensive to some readers, we want to highlight that it is not our intention to offend anybody, should such terms be found on this website. Because our articles are obtained from many different sources, it's not possible to avoid all these terms. However, please know that it is not used with malicious intent.
As followers of Christ, it is appropriate for us at New Living Way Ministry to ask people who are attracted to the same-sex for forgiveness for the way some individual Christians and Christian organizations have often treated you. We publicly apologize for the hate and hurt you have felt and experienced. We want you to know that you matter to us and you matter to God. God loves you, He cares about you, and He has a plan for your life.
A Prophetic Word to Those Bound in Same-sex Attracted Inactment
Beloved do you not know? Do you not see? As you seek to find love, it is really Me you are looking for.
And, o beloved, I tell you that although My Church has upheld the principles of Scripture, so they often have not done with a true reflection of My heart and of My grace. And I would say to you this day – I stand before you with My arms outstretched, not in judgment but in mercy, beloved son, beloved daughter. I stand before you at this moment, not in condemnation but with mercy and with a love that would relentlessly pursue you.
For I was there at the first abuse of your body. I was there when you were mocked and rejected by your peers and a searing came to your sensitive heart – to that same heart that I ordained to love and to reach out and to worship Me. And as the father of lies whispered to your heart, “You are not like other men, you are not like other woman, you do not fit….” You embraced the lies. You indeed drew to yourself other ensnared and battling the same, and so the lie took root and the lifestyle was born.
For I know the breaches in your soul. I was there when your heart was scarred and bruised where others did not understand. Surely I am He who sees and who knows. For was I not the recipient of rejections and misunderstandings? Was I not He who was despised and rejected by men? O My son, My daughter, forgive My Church. Forgive those who judged you who follow Me. For surely, though they know My Word, they hearken not to the breath of My Spirit. For My voice is quiet, full of tenderness, full of mercy.
And as you seek fulfilment of both the flesh and the soul, I would reach out and embrace you and draw you to Myself. And as I would embrace you, I weep for you. My son My daughter. I weep for you, and there is no refrain from My tears. For as you transgress the eternal law set in motion by My Father Himself. I weep as I see you bring that which cannot be revoked down upon yourself. For the consequence of breaking the eternal law cannot be revoked. And My judgment upon you is My mercy. Take heed, beloved, take heed and hear My voice.
O beloved, do you think I do not know, that I cannot see, that you seek the salve of the human heart, but it is only to be found in Me. In no other upon heaven and earth shall you find the rest for your aching soul.
