Former Homosexual Now Offers Love and Christian Ministry to Those Bound by Any Sexual Addiction

While some might say that a person who is a homosexual is born with tendencies that can never be changed, and might also say there is nothing wrong with such a lifestyle, don't tell that to Andrew Comiskey. Comiskey was once a practicing homosexual himself, but today he shares the gospel of Jesus Christ with homosexuals and others bound by other sexual addictions. He says anyone can find the freedom he found in his faith. Recently he and his wife, Annette, celebrated their 20^th anniversary.

On the official website of his ministry, Desert Stream, Comiskey says that 25 years ago he was a practicing homosexual. He says he was oppressed by a misplaced desire. He adds, however, that God showed him His "transforming love." He says God's love "elevated my sight as to who He was, and the higher purpose he intended for humanity."

Comiskey says that growing up he had parents who loved him but were a little detached from his life. He says that left him "hungry emotionally and vulnerable to false ways of getting my needs met." He says he had not had a close relationship with his father, and as a result he felt a great hunger for masculine love and affirmation.

He says it is easy in the American culture to embrace the homosexual lifestyle to find male love and affirmation. Comiskey, once a practicing homosexual himself, says such a lifestyle is a "perverse and idolatrous world that promises in vain to take away one's deep desire for love." Comiskey says that in the gay world he began to realize that no human being could satisfy his true need for love, and after trusting in the love of Jesus Christ, he began to want to help others bound by sexual addictions.
