Welcome
to the Nathan Project
In the sexualized
culture in which we live, the Nathan Project
will provide a safe environment to
Restore, Renew & Rebuild broken men, women
and their families caught in the web of sexual
addiction.
This
will be accomplished through small group training
and operation, along side a thorough education
of addiction using Christian curriculum and
resources.
The
vision of the Nathan Project is to provide
a Christian response to the ever growing crisis
of
sexual addiction in our out of control world.
- Median age
for the first use of pornography: boys:
11-13 girls: 12-14 (Your
Children & Pornography: A guide for
Parents, Tom Buford. Tommera Press, 2001)
- According
to pastors, the 8 top sexual issues damaging
to their congregation are: 57% pornography
addiction, 34% sexually active never-married
adults, 30% adultery of married adults,
28% sexually active teenagers, 16% sexual
dissatisfaction, 14% unwed pregnancy, 13%
sexually active previously married adults,
and 9% sexual abuse. (More

Winter 2005)
- According
to 2004 IFR research, U.S. porn revenue
exceeds the combined revenues of ABC, CBS,
and NBC (6.2 billion). Porn revenue is larger
than all combined revenues of all professional
football, baseball and basketball franchises.
The pornography industry, according to conservative
estimates, brings in $57 billion per year,
of which the United States is responsible
for $12 billion.
