Christown's Titus 2 Ministry- Teach Me to Love

God has given us a beautiful way to express love, our marriage union, and sexual intimacy. Satan's ploy to destroy marriage is running rampant with the availability of pornographic material.There are over 100 studies that show the extent of the problem and the havoc it is making on the family.Did you know:The issue is worldwide?Almost as prevelant among women as men?The average age of children when they are exposed to pornography is 11, but are exposed as young as 6? Is a major contributor to adultery, divorce, sex trafficking, and sexual trauma. The situation is not hopeless. There are many who have experienced healing, restoration and forgiveness through God's Word and specialized counseling. There are few lives that aren't touched by this issue. We hope to share information and resources that encourage and pave the way for reconciliation and freedom from the slavery of this destructive sin.
