Project Safe Haven
The Need:

Pornography statistics clearly demonstrate that there is a real and growing problem within the community and the church regarding issues of sexual purity, and in particular Internet pornography. For instance, according to a wide range of Internet pornography statistics, it is estimated that roughly two-thirds of Christian men struggle with pornography and one-in-five regularly view Internet pornography. Therefore, it is important to bring the recognition of the problem with purity to church leaders in a manner that fosters a willingness to initiate a new direction of addressing the once secret and taboo topic of pornography, masturbation, and other sexually compulsive activities.

We have gathered a comprehensive listing of Internet pornography statistics from dozens of sources to highlight the great need for the church to provide a safe haven for healing.

Once the need is accepted, we expect churches to take a front line in working on the solution! Our 12-week study and companion Leader’s Guide are a great resource for the church and other organizations wishing to usher in the hope and healing of the Lord in the lives of those trapped in bondage to sexually compulsive activities. Read through the pornography statistics on this web site, and then prepare to move into action.
