“I have known Bill Henson for many years.  His life journey and faith experience are indeed a remarkable testimony to the power and grace of God.  Bill has a wonderful spirit and a keen mind that combine to make him an incredibly effective communicator to those who are struggling with sexual brokenness. Bill has a heart for those who struggle and a wonderful sense of patience with those who are antagonistic toward healing ministries.  His preparation is always thorough, thoughtful, and above all prayerful. My expectation is that God is going to continue to bless this ministry in powerful ways.”

“With the religious and political environment so polarized on the subject of homosexuality, FOTOS provides intelligent, compassionate, and Biblical resources to churches and Christians for addressing the challenges and opportunities related to homosexuality in our culture.  Bill has been an active member and leader at Grace for many years, and consistently brings wisdom, grace, and godly character to a variety of ministries and people.”

"We are delighted to hear of the founding of FOTOS Ministries. In a culture where we tend to be guided by anecdotal stories or emotional response instead of God’s design, we are in desperate need of those who are true to God’s word and compassionate in the expression of Grace and Truth. Bill and his wife have personally shown their commitment to following God’s design and helping others come to this knowledge with compassion and grace. I am thankful for such a ministry to which we are able to refer those who are struggling with gender identity issues and seeking to more fully understand God’s design. FOTOS will provide practical and Biblical hope and help in the process of healing."
 

“I’ve known Bill Henson for several years now and I continue to be impressed by the wisdom, discernment and insight he brings into the complex ministry settings in which he serves.  He and his wife have served as leaders of a small group with a number of families with young children.  They have modeled for those in their group what it means to be a family of faith and to minister with the love of Christ. 

Bill’s life is a testimony to the life-transforming work of God’s spirit and the redeeming power of grace.  His own experience gives him a unique ability to speak into the lives of men struggling with sexual identity issues - enabling him to share with credibility and allowing people to know that he understands the issues they are facing.

Bill’s approach enables him to enter into a culturally, politically, and socially charged environment and speak in a way that diffuses people’s heated emotions.  His genuine love is evident and disarming, enabling people to hear the truth with an unusual receptivity.”

“Bill Henson's compassionate approach to the topic of homosexuality is exactly what is needed within the Body of Christ - and beyond.  The time I spent talking with Bill about his life struggles, as well as my own, was deeply meaningful. I found him to be well-informed and eager to listen. I have the utmost confidence in FOTOS Ministries. FOTOS has the potential to impact numerous lives in a positive and life-changing way.”
