Rev. Wynn Cameron Thompson, since 1996, has been the executive director and founder of Restoring Wholeness Ministries dealing with relational and sexual issues within the Church. As an American, Wynn’s story takes him from a solid Christian home upbringing in Los Angeles, California to being raped at the age of six. The streets of Hollywood became his way of life as a teenager. Sex, drugs and the entertainment industry became his god as he looked for his identity and satisfaction in life. Dysfunction in many forms continued until Wynn got sick and tired of being sick and tired in 1985 and turned to God.

After years of healing he became a missionary in Europe with Youth With A Mission. During the years that followed he gained training in theology and therapy as studied with international schools. Wynn has travelled to many countries ministering and teaching in the area of relational and sexual brokenness as well as leadership training. He is an ordained minister, international teacher, speaker, life therapist/counsellor, author, and is a former member of the Exodus Europe, Africa and Middle East Board.

Together with the South African Restoring Wholeness team of seven, Wynn first created the Restoring Wholeness LIFE Matters Equipping Leader’s Course. From then on he created several specific LIFE Matters 8-16 week support programs dealing with topics such as ‘dysfunctional families and shame’, ‘abuse’, ‘addiction’, ‘unwanted same-sex attraction’, and ‘co-dependency’ and more.

Wynn was one of nine authors who contributed individual chapters in the book, Big God Big Life by Anthony Liebenberg. His chapter, “The crisis of sexual identity in today’s family and church” spells out the issues as well as solutions facing the family and the Church in today’s society in this much avoided issue of life.

In 2009 God called Wynn back to the USA to build Restoring Wholeness Ministries in Arizona. Wynn also married his child-hood sweetheart, Judi, and now live in Tucson, Arizona. Since then he assembled a board who governs Restoring Wholeness Ministries, created a team of leaders who help run support groups and Leader’s training courses. We have teamed with Chi Alpha in Arizona, Central City Assembly church, and affiliated with Restored Hope Network. He continues with Restoring Wholeness team members to travel to Ukraine, Switzerland, South Africa, England and Europe to minister God’s hope and healing.

In 2021, after 3 years of writing, PRODIGAL a Journey to Freedom from Abuse and Addiction was published by Wheatmark in Arizona. It is available Through Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Prodigal-Journey-Freedom-Abuse-Addiction/dp/1627879145/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 ; Apple iBook’s; Google Play Store; and Barns & Noble.

“…’Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord…” What in the world do we really know about the power of God’s Holy Spirit? Have we really experienced it first hand? If we say we have, do we really believe that God will continue to do all He needs to do on our behalf? Will His character stand the tests of our doubts and fears in the light of our experiences? Crisis is always a testing…

“Change!” by Carol Wagstaff Groen and Phillip Lee

Change! By Carol Wagstaff Groen and Phillip Lee The Oxford American Dictionary defines change as to make or become different; to pass from one form or phase into another. Certainly, for any individual the greatest change is to become a Christian and know that your destination has been changed from hell to heaven; to become born-again. While Scripture and an abundance of secular literature provide evidence that homosexuality, though deeply ingrained and even habitually practiced, can be overcome both as…

In the middle of the muddle

Was thinking this morning about the words “muddle / wallow” and their action words “muddling / wallowing”.The dictionary definition is: mud·dle – verb: muddling bring into a disordered or confusing state. synonyms: confuse, mix up, jumble (up), disarrange, disorganize, disorder, disturb, mess up“you’ve muddled things up” confuse (a person or their thoughts). synonyms: bewilder, confuse, bemuse, perplex, puzzle, baffle, mystify “she became muddled” busy oneself in a confused and ineffective way. God reminded me when Paul and Silas were thrown into prison. (Acts 16:16-40) Now I’m far from being a “Paul” but I sure know the feeling when it…

“I gave up too soon.”

“I gave up too soon.” A few years ago I was helping out with our church’s ‘feed the homeless’ outreach. When all the meals had been served a lady walked up and asked for a second helping of food. A minute before the chef took that tray away that had some of the food on it. She looked and said, ‘Oh well’, then passed by. A few minutes later the chef returned with a bit more food. I called out…

KT’s Story

The Evidence:I’ve battled most of my life with horrible memories of sexual abuse. I turned to homosexual relationships, cutting, drugs, co-dependency, eating disorders, and Daoism to help ease the pain of my past. Those things only acted like band aids that always fell off, leaving me hungry for more. I always knew the life I was living was wrong. It felt wrong. But I refused to believe in a God who would allow such horrible things to happen to me. But my walls didn’t keep Jesus away. Jesus blew down the…

Intimacy

Testimony of a woman called Daniella “INTIMACY” the agony and the ecstasy of co-dependency. At the root of it, my need for intimacy has always been there, and the need itself has always been the same. Most of my life however, I didn’t realize that my acting out behaviour was rooted in the deepest need of all, the need for intimacy with another. My need for intimacy seems different now, and not as intense, but I think it is only…

“One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”John 9:25b – For those of us who have lived a homosexual lifestyle and have decided to walk away from it and embrace what we believe to be a God-honoring life…may I say personally that I have experienced something life-defining. One story in the New Testament tells about the man who was blind from birth and Jesus healed him. The religious authorities called him and his parents to account…
