Imagine living where God dwells
and the kind of peace you would experience…the joy…the freedom!
These are the things that so many people have told us they experience when they step onto our campus in Kentucky.
God's presence is the primary reason that our Residential Program is so effective.
Years of sin leave men's hearts polluted and their minds dysfunctional,
but the spiritual atmosphere here flushes out the filth and opens the way for a long lasting change.
Nothing short of an encounter with the living God is going to make the difference for a man in bondage to sexual sin.
But once he's encountered the Lord, he will never be the same. Here's Michael story.
The reason I came to Pure Life Ministries was because of my sexual sin.
However, the bigger issue in my life at this point is I was being tormented with darkness, blasphemous and condemning thoughts.
The first thing I noticed when I arrived here was a sense of peace that I had never experienced before.
I came to realize that the sense of peace I had was God's presence in this place.
You know, in the past I've experienced the Lord's presence at times
but here that presence of God, it is strong and it is consistent.
The truth is, whether you're down at the prayer trail,
or you're walking through the campus, or just studying
in the student center, there's a strong spiritual atmosphere in this place.
During my time here, one of the things I looked forward to the most were the Thursday night chapel services
because of the strong presence of the Lord.  
The reason I think the meetings are so powerful is we would come into the chapel
and we would spend at least half an hour preparing our hearts through reading the Word, through prayer
inviting the Lord to show up,
and when we would start worshipping His presence would just fill this place.
This was so different than anything I'd ever experienced before in church.
Because of the spiritual atmosphere in this place I remember being at work and feeling like I couldn't wait to get back
to campus and be in the Lord's presence and experience that peace again.
Living in a place where the Lord is so real for nine months really helped me to come to know him
in a way I never could have imagined.  
Not only did I get free from pornography,
but I got free from those blasphemous, dark, condemning thoughts that used to plague me.
Jesus has done a miracle in my life. Not only as He given me my sanity back, but He did what I never thought was possible.
