Education: outpost sponsors the understanding homosexuality seminar and other workshops for various churches and organizations, including individual congregations and groups of ministries like exodus, int'l, of which we are a founding member ministry. We offer an internship program currently for students or young adults in their 20s. This internship involves learning the workings of a non-profit organization, spiritual disciplines and deputational fundraising techniques. A further listing of activities during the year is as follows: foundations: an introductory teaching course designed for all new participants. Encountering jesus young adult internship program: a personal development internship involving teaching, worship and prayer, mentoring, leadership training, ministry experience, office help, newsletter writing and public speaking. Understanding homosexuality seminar: this is a half-day seminary to educate the church about issues surrounding homosexuality, the biblical texts about homosexuality and practical guidelines for responding to persons facing the issues surrounding homosexuality. Public speaking: outpost staff and interns share about the ministry and their personal stories in various locations such as, church worship services, retreats, youth groups, college and university chapel, classroom and student organization events, radio and tv interviews newsletters: outpost sends out a monthly newsletter to inform the greater christian community about the issues surrounding biblical sexual morality. This is also a chief fundraising avenue. All staff members are also required to raise funds for the ministry and they do this through deputational support newsletters as well. These also function as educational tools to teach about our mission and the bibles teachings about sexuality issues. Outpost sponsors trips to the onething conference, the restored hope network conference, and a fall regional conference each year. Restoring the family seminar: a half-day seminar directed at families (parents, mostly) with members who have either wandered off into an immoral lifestyle, or are struggling with same-sex attractions (ssa). This seminar offers information and support to such families. Outpost educates. The governing board directed that we should offer an academic lecture as part of our educational mission to teach the church and the general public about issues concerning ssa. We held this event in september 2011, featuring peter jones, from truthxchange.com.
