About SBM Worldwide, Inc.

SBM Worldwide, Inc. is an evangelistic, educational, exhortational, and encouraging Christian ministry dedicated to ministering to homosexual and transgender identifying men and women who are seeking change. SBM Worldwide provides biblical, practical, and prayerful support and resources for men and women who are looking to overcome their unwanted same-sex attractions and identity. SBM Worldwide also offers support and ministers to parents, spouses, family members, friends, and pastors of individuals who identify as LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender).

SBM Worldwide, Inc. was founded in 2000 by Stephen Bennett, a man who struggled throughout his teenage years and early adult life with same-sex attraction, living the homosexual lifestyle until he was 28 years old. Today, by God’s grace and through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, Stephen has been happily married almost 32 years to his beautiful wife, Irene, and he is the father of the couple’s two adult children.

SBM Worldwide, Inc. relies solely on the love gifts and support of our ministry partners and friends to continue to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the LGBTQ community and minister in the United States and around the world. Your prayers and gifts are greatly needed and very much appreciated.

The Bennetts are Christian missionaries to the LGBT community — sharing God’s love, hope, and power to transform lives, with those who struggle with unwanted homosexuality and transgenderism. Stephen and Irene Bennett educate churches and congregations worldwide through preaching and teaching — ministering biblical truths about homosexuality and bringing to light God’s ordained plan for human sexuality. According to God’s infallible Word, everyone is created male or female. We are created in His image. Sexual relations are to be only between one man and one woman — a husband and wife — and that within the confines of biblical marriage — for life. Anything outside of this — fornication, adultery, pornography, or anything else — is considered impure, immoral, and sin according to God’s Word. Biblical abstinence is to be adhered to until a man or woman enters the biblical covenant of marriage with a person of the opposite sex, as husband and wife. Biblical sexual purity is the ministry’s overriding and uncompromising message.

Stephen’s story of being set free from the homosexual lifestyle through Jesus Christ was recorded in September 2000 on his first CD, I Believe in Miracles, and re-released on his third CD, Let Me Show You Jesus. A one-hour special radio magazine was produced by the American Family Association several years ago and is now available on the SBM website as an immediate audio download from SBM’s Online Ministry Bookstore & Resource Center. Bennett’s testimony and music began spreading throughout Christian and secular media outlets in early 2000, eventually leading him and his family into full-time Christian ministry. Today, Stephen Bennett’s music can be heard nationally on Christian radio.

Stephen Bennett is a nationally-sought-after speaker, preacher, singer, evangelist, and author. His first book, his autobiography, Everything Must Change, is currently being written. Bennett travels the United States and worldwide, ministering at conferences, churches, schools, rallies, special events, and speaking engagements. He appears regularly on Christian and secular radio and television, as well as in print.
