Truth Transforms offers the online ministry to people, both men and ladies, wanting to move on to complete freedom from sexual sin. Although this is an extension of a live ministry where we actually offer face-to-face ministry to ladies from a background of sexual sin, the online ministry does not have any face-to-face aspect to it, neither does it contain any email counselling or any other form of counselling. Instead we offer a selection of online courses and seminars - all of these are structured Bible studies enriched with online videos, as well as audio and written material and testimonies where relevant. The Bible studies in the courses and the content of the seminars focus on the common issues facing those who want to break free from sexual sin. So who is our target audience with this online ministry? Essentially, anybody who desires to move forward to complete freedom from sexual sin, and who accepts and wants to participate in our explicitly Biblical approach. You also need to be comfortable with a structured approach as opposed to a typical support group type of approach. We realise that sexual problems are often very embarrassing and exposing to confess to in your immediate environment, and therefore make this facility available online to protect your privacy and confidentiality, while it offers you the opportunity to work through the practicalities in your life with God in a progressive and structured fashion. The site is separated in two areas: Main Area: The Truth Transforms part of this area contains information about the ministry and some general information about sexual brokenness. This is found at www.truthfulworship.org Services Area: The online ministry is conducted via the Services Area. Interactive courses, online video seminars etc can be participated in via this site. This is found at www.truthfulworship.org/services . Our approach is to have a layered online ministry. This means that you can decide to what extent you make use of the ministry and any input from us. By a layered ministry we mean the following: First layer: Free Introductory videos (in the format of a very basic non-interactive online seminar). We have chosen the content of these carefully to inform you about our approach in ministry and how we go about understanding sexual sin from the Bible. You do not need to be registered on the site as a user to participate in this layer. Second Layer: Here you have two options, and you can choose to do any of these or both:
Third Layer: A selection of introductory seminars and courses in subjects relevant to sexual sin and freedom from sexual sin. All the seminars and courses that are not free in our List of Available Services fit into this layer. These are chosen to provide the first steps to freedom to those who are struggling with sexual sin, as well as to inform those wanting information about the subject. It is on this layer that you need to choose again how you want to structure your longer term interaction with us, namely:
Further Layers: More advanced courses and seminars are made available to users who reach this point (you reach this point by accumulating credits in layer three). The rationale here is that we then assume a certain background knowledge and start more in depth ministry to assist those who are wanting to continue making use of our services to move on to complete freedom from sexual sin. The courses and seminars in layer three will already give you much information that you can use in your walk with God to change your life and start to move to freedom. However, in the context of our ministry, both the content of the courses and seminars, and the depth of testimonies we share online increases on this layer, so as to be of more practical and direct assistance to you in your own walk to freedom. More information about what we offer in these ongoing layers is made available to people who reach the point of having the option to progress to these layers. They then get access to the content and courses and seminars applicable to these ongoing layers.
You may well ask why we follow such a layered approach. The answer is simply to be relevant and to provide appropriate material for the kind of involvement you choose to have with the ministry. Such an approach obviously also provides us with the opportunity to have a progression in the depth of the material we offer. This is done to benefit those who need a structured and in-depth program to assist them in their walk with God to freedom from sexual sin. Since dealing with sexual sin also requires one to change one's practical lifestyle and not merely gather information and gain knowledge, such a layered approach also provides the environment for this growth in the depth of your own commitment to God. |
