A short spoken excerpt from the YouTube video "Legacy of Honor Highlight" (uploaded by Nick Stumbo) describing the origin and impact of a ministry effort (Pure Desire) to help men struggling with pornography. The speaker recounts inviting a leader from East Hill, surprising turnout (over 200 men), frames pornography as a widespread "leprosy," highlights shame and isolation experienced by sufferers, and emphasizes confession, community, and passing faith/hope to the next generation.

Pure Desire ministry.

Over 200 men.

Sam. And so he invited the man of East Hill in this very room to help him start a new ministry. And he was a little bit surprised to have over 200 men show up to be trained. It was at that moment he knew that they had stumbled upon something very serious and that this was a God moment. This was something that the Lord was directing them to do. We have been blown away by your participation in honoring us and the Pure Desire ministry, Sam. There is a leprosy in the land. It's called pornography. Probably more men with that than any other thing in history. Feels downcast, alone, fearful, dirty shame, and they don't know who to go to. You know what scares me so much is this, Ted. If he hadn't believed me, I would have never confided in anyone the rest of my life. In our journey of faith, each of us, what we're doing is we're really not standing for ourselves. We're standing to give hope and faith to the next generation.
