Someone had to say it. In 1980, someone did.
That someone was Andrew Comiskey. What he built became Desert Stream Ministries, and a body of work built around the conviction that same-sex attraction deserves an honest answer, not a quiet one.
We've been doing this a long time.
Andrew Comiskey founded Desert Stream in 1980.
Not as a platform. As a response to people who were quietly carrying something the church had stopped talking about and the culture had stopped questioning.
Forty-six years later, that response has grown into a worldwide ministry with a full board of bishops, a cardinal, and pastors, people who hold orthodox conviction and understand, without flinching, what it costs to carry same-sex attraction inside a community of faith.
We have roots. Deep ones.
That matters. Here's why.
Trust isn't built on a website.
It's built on decades of showing up: in churches, across continents, in the work of staying with people who had nowhere else to go.
Forty-six years builds something.

Living Waters
Our 20-week group has run in churches worldwide. Tens of thousands of people have walked through it. It is slow, deliberate, community-based work.

CrossCurrent Online
A free community, a place for people doing the hard work of healing, wherever they're starting from.

Oasis
For parents, the ones awake at 2 a.m. who have no idea what to do with what their child just told them.
We've trained leaders. We've written books. We've sent teams all around the globe.
And then we made Queered Out.
Because forty-six years taught us that the people who need this most
are the ones least likely to walk through a church door to find it.
The people we couldn't reach needed something different.
Not a program. Not a curriculum. Not a step.
Just real voices from people who had been where you are, pulled between what culture says and what faith says, exhausted from choosing, unsure there was a third option.
Queered Out is a testimony series.
It exists because testimony travels where institutions can't. A film can find someone at 1 a.m. who would never call a ministry, never walk into a group, never ask for help out loud.
That person deserves the same honest answer everyone else gets.
So we made it for them.
This is forty-six years of work, distilled into something a stranger can watch alone, tonight, without signing up for anything.

You know enough. Watch the first one and let it speak for itself.
