Yassine from Morocco: The true faith set me free from “homosexuality”!

My name is Yassine from Morocco, I am 22 years old. I grew up in a non-Christian, very traditional family, and at some point, during my adolescence stage, my family gone through a severe financial crisis. They were unable to send me money as I had moved to a different city to complete my studies. At that point, I met a young man who was a bit older than me, so we became acquainted and discussed sexual matters. The situation worsened when we began a homosexual relationship with each other, as I became a prisoner of homosexuality. Not only that, but I started doing so for money and profit.

I was always on social networking sites, so I knew about a website that helps young people quit masturbation. I started asking about a way because I wanted to get rid of sex control over my life in general. There, a young Christian man spoke with me about Christianity and gave me the phone number of a Christian Moroccan brother, so I contacted him immediately. What drew me to speak with him during our first meeting was his statement that he is not there to judge me. He told me that I am here to walk with you step by step along the path of change, knowing what is right and wrong.

He asked if I was satisfied with what I do (sex for money). I told him no, because I knew it was against nature. He explained that God accepts sinners’ repentance. and that everyone who believes in Christ is transformed into a new creation, and Christ no longer mentions his sin. This talk made me feel comfortable and reassured; I loved what Christ did for all humans, so I decided to change, and put my life in Christ’s hands.
