There are certainly options available to you if you're interested in taking the Christian sexual recovery route; the options are just a bit hard to track down. I've linked below to my page on sexual recovery sites (the page speaks of "sex offenders," but non-offenders can usually find assistance as well). If you also wish to change your homosexual feelings, the ex-gay ministries are probably your best best – many of them work with adults who are attracted to minors (I can tell you which ones do if you wish to explore that option). If you don't believe that you should try to change the homosexual aspect of your feelings – but only the pedophilic aspect of them – I'm afraid that your options are much more limited as far as Christian ministries are concerned, but there are certainly many secular sexual recovery groups out there that you can explore. Most sexual recovery groups are free. A caution I would make – and I think that any sexual recovery minister would make the same caution – is not to make the changing of your sexual feelings the goal of your journey. Concentrate on binding yourself closer to Jesus or on improving your mental health overall, and allow God to decide what is best for you. Remember what St. Paul said: ". . . to keep me from being too elated by the abundance of revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I besought the Lord about this, that it should leave me; but he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." [2 Corinthians 12] Heather |
