Ty Wyss is the Founder and Executive Director of Walls Down Ministry. Today, Ty shares how he discovered early that he was same-sex attracted, a place to belong in the gay community, and finding Jesus after a night of clubbing. When he finally felt God’s kindness toward him, Ty began to trust God with his life and sexuality. He vowed never to pretend to be something he wasn’t again. Walls Down Ministry serves as a bridge between the LGBTQ+ community and the church by helping them become “competent caregivers and disciple-makers for the LGBT and same-sex attracted people” around them. Ty’s story teaches us that God loves everyone and offers a path forward for conversation between two historically divided communities. I’m so glad he shared his story.
