12 Introducing Pedro

Meet Pedro! In this episode Trent and I get to speak with Pedro for the first time. He’s been helping translate the website into Portuguese. Pedro has a heart for Brazil, in reaching out to people who are attracted to minors, and preventing child abuse. We are so glad to have him as part of the team. Pedro shares some of his story, particularly how he once believed he must be the only one who struggled as he did, and how God restored his sense of purpose.

We are Christians who also happen to be pedophiles. We have an unwanted and involuntary attraction towards children, yet despite this we have decided to obey Christ and not act according to those feelings. In no way do we condone sexual involvement with children. It is inherently harmful, and it goes against what God wants for our sexuality. Although we have pedophilia, it doesn't define us. It's something we have, not who we are. Instead, our identity comes from our relationship with Jesus. Our goal is to reach out to those who struggle in this area of sexuality as well. We want you to know that you are not alone, and that Jesus can give you freedom, intimacy, and new life.
