OLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (BP)--Focus on the Family's Love Won Out conferences, which equip the church to reach out to homosexuals, are being transferred to Exodus International, the longtime partners have announced.

The transitioning of the conferences from Colorado-based Focus on the Family to Florida-based Exodus comes 11 years after the first Love One Out conference was held.

Exodus International speakers always have been featured prominently at the conferences, and Focus on the Family says it will continue to provide speakers and financial support to the conferences. A joint press release Aug. 11 said the transition was a "logical step for both organizations." Exodus International is a Christian ministry that seeks to assist homosexuals in overcoming unwanted same-sex attractions.

The final Love Won Out conference sponsored by Focus on the Family will be held in Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 7.
