Route1520, The Journey Home

It is official.

We are launching Route1520, a ministry to help individuals and families who are dealing with the reality of pornography and sexual addiction. Melody and I will join Tal and Teresa Prince and Dr. Dana Stoddard in this exciting endeavor.

“He got right up and went home to his father.”
Luke 15:20, The Message

I remember when I came to my senses, like the Prodigal. I had drifted to a far country, but because I was checked out along the way, I honestly didn’t know where I was as my mind began to clear. I desperately wanted to go home, but didn’t know which direction home was. Getting back home wasn’t as simple as turning over a new leaf or vowing to never act out again. I had done that hundreds of  times before and if it was that simple I never would have drifted as far as I did.

I needed someone to introduce me to a new path…a new route. Someone who had already traveled that road before and understood the fog I was in. Someone who had experienced the Father’s relentless love and knew personally that His heart was good. Someone who could help me deal with my suffocating shame.

Plain and simple? Route1520 provides those “someones”.

If you would like to know more about Route1520 or get involved personally, here are a few links that provide an opportunity to do so:

Subscribe to RSS feed of Route1520′s blog.
Tal Prince, Dr. Dana Stoddard, and I contribute to this blog. We will be sharing reflections from our stories and hope and encouragement for those who need to find a way home. Dr. Stoddard, with his years of counseling experience, will share from the stories of others as well.

Join Route1520 on Facebook.
Until we launch our official web site, our Facebook page and our blog will serve as our main methods of communication. Join us and check back often to be encouraged and to connect with others who are involved with our ministry. Once you join, please share our message with family and friends and invite them to join in the effort.

Follow Route1520 on Twitter.
Route1520 will be a great source for information and education on our culture’s saturation with pornography and sex and will provide practical insights into how to effectively minister in this area. Even if pornography or sexual addiction hasn’t affected you personally, it will. Someone close to you is currently struggling in this area and we want to help you offer love, grace, and hope when the secret surfaces. We will use our Twitter account as a means to quickly and efficiently share information and connect like-minded individuals.

Subscribe to Route1520′s Email List.
Route1520 is actively building our email lists, but we need your help. When you sign up, there are a few lists that you can be a part of. The most important list at this time is the Prayer Team. If you feel led to pray for Route1520, especially during this launch phase, please subscribe and indicate your interest in our Prayer Team by checking the appropriate box on the sign-up form. We will also provide ministry updates via email and will eventually publish an email newsletter. Please take a moment and sign up and share the sign-up link with others.

If there are individuals or ministries that you are aware of that you think we should connect with, please let us know in the comments section. We covet your prayers as we launch. We realize that rescuing those who are trapped in sexual brokenness is front-lines stuff and that our enemy will be relentless. We need your prayers and your help.
