More on the Denver Christmas Conference

Alicia and I are so excited for the upcoming Denver Christmas Conference. We had the opportunity to attend the conference as students and look forward to our involvement as staff. We will be involved in some random, but much needed jobs including registration, the book store, child care for the Campus Crusade staff kids, and security of the meeting room. We are also looking forward to meeting some of the students involved in the ministry from the University of Kansas.

MIKE HALEY

The insight Mike Haley offers young people into the causes and treatment of homosexuality comes from his own experience as a gay teen and young adult. Since 1992, Mike has shared that insight in interviews with national and local media and through documentary videos such as Reaching into the Closet and A Journey Out, in which he discusses his own path out of homosexuality. Mike earned a degree in Christian education from Biola University in 1987, and currently is serving as a youth and gender analyst for Focus on the Family. His duties include helping coordinate and speaking at the ministry’s Love Won Out conferences, which offer accurate information on the causes and prevention of homosexuality.
