Exodus International, the world's largest Christian outreach to those affected by homosexuality, is launching a new ministry aimed at helping women embrace their faith and God-given femininity.
Exodus, which has helped both men and women for more than 32 years, is trying to reach more women. Currently, 40 percent of those who seek their help are women.
Heading up the initiative is Yvette Schneider, a former policy analyst for the Family Research Council. She said she hopes to communicate biblical, compassionate truth to women who feel overlooked by society and are often afraid to seek help from the Church.
"The Christian Church must be a place that powerfully conveys compassionate truth to hurting women," Schneider said. "My goal is to help more women find real hope and help as they journey towards wholeness in their femininity in Christ, and to equip others to do the same."
