I WAS IN London’s gay scene for five years. I felt like I was in a maze and couldn’t find the way out. I didn’t really feel it was the real me. I think others doubted whether I was a lesbian too.
My ex-boyfriend Steve had led me into human and animal rights, local Labour Party politics and having gay friends, which is all very well, but I had no idea who I really was. On reflection, I just had sympathy for people.
In 1993, I was out shopping in Camden when I met Ruth and Andrew from the Jesus Army. Andrew invited me onto the colourful bus and Ruth explained about Jesus’ love for me and we prayed together for me to receive Jesus.
Since then I’ve been finding out who I am through my experience of friendship in the church. Right from the start I knew acceptance.
In the past twelve and a half years I’ve known a lot of healing inside. God has reached down and touched me. I’ve been freed from confusion and found my place.
