S TEPHEN B ENNETT M INISTRIES, INC. (SBM, INC. )
Stephen Bennett Ministries, Inc. (SBM, Inc.) is a non-profit, 501(c)3 religious (Christian) organization, advocating for the traditional family, the protection of children and proclaiming the biblical truth about homosexuality with the world. SBM is prayerfully and financially supported by churches and individuals like you -- who have a heart to reach the homosexual for Jesus Christ.
SBM was founded in 2000 by Stephen Bennett , a man who once engaged in the sinful homosexual lifestyle. Since 1993, Stephen is happily married to his beautiful wife Irene. The Bennetts are the proud parents of two young children -- a boy and a girl. The Bennetts evangelize the homosexual community with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Stephen Bennett educates churches and congregations worldwide through preaching and teaching, expounding on the biblical truths of the sin of homosexuality and sexual immorality – bringing to light God’s perfect, biblical plan for mankind. According to God’s infallible Word, everyone is created either male or female: heterosexual. Sexual relations are only to be between one man and one woman – a husband and wife -- for life – within the grounds and confines of biblical marriage only. Anything outside of this – including fornication, adultery, pornography or anything else – is sexual sin according to God’s Word. Biblical abstinence is to be adhered to until a man and woman enter the biblical covenant of marriage together as husband and wife. Biblical, sexual purity is this ministry’s overriding and uncompromising message.
Stephen's story of abandoning the homosexual lifestyle through Jesus Christ was recorded in September 2000 on his first music CD, I Believe in Miracles . Bennett's testimony and music instantly began spreading throughout Christian and secular media, eventually leading Stephen and his family into full time Christian ministry. Today, Stephen Bennett’s music can be heard nationally on Christian radio.
Stephen Bennett is an internationally sought after speaker, preacher, singer, evangelist and author. Bennett travels worldwide ministering at conferences, churches, schools, rallies, special events and speaking engagements. He can be heard and seen regularly on Christian and secular radio and television.
SBM’s National Offices are located in the heart of New England in Huntington, Connecticut – only a little over an hour outside of New York City. SBM is dedicated to biblically and practically encourage and assist men and women to successfully overcome their unwanted same-sex attractions and/or sexual immorality. SBM also provides support and numerous resources for family members and friends of men and women engaging in or struggling with homosexuality and/or sexual immorality.
In addition to one-on-one Christian ministry, SBM also takes an unabashed biblical stand in opposing the promotion of homosexuality and sexual immorality in America. SBM dispels the untruths, myths and misinformation campaign being waged and promoted by the media and 'gay' activist pressure groups, by providing the 'no-spin' truth about an unnatural, immoral, dangerous and potentially deadly lifestyle.
