(AgapePress) - A former lesbian who now runs a Christian ministry in Minnesota will be holding the first ever ex-"gay" exhibit at the National Education Association Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Janet Boynes lived a lesbian lifestyle for 14 years but later turned her life over to Christ and is now spreading the message that there is hope for homosexuals through a relationship with Jesus. She will be joining members of the NEA Ex-Gay Educators Caucus at the NEA annual meeting and will have a display booth there promoting her outreach, Janet Boynes Ministries.

This meeting, scheduled to run from June 30 - July 5 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, is the 144th Annual Meeting and 85th Representative Assembly of the NEA. Boynes' exhibit will be the first ever ex-homosexual display at the powerful union's national convention. Her attendance comes at the request of the NEA Ex-Gay Educators Caucus.

The former lesbian, now a born-again believer, strongly refutes claims that homosexuals cannot change. "Is it easy to come out of homosexuality? No, it's not," she acknowledges. "You hear a lot of people say, 'I prayed to God. I prayed to God, and I just couldn't come out.' Well, you know what? It's not easy to come out, but God can't do it alone. You have to make some steps."
