Courage was founded in 1988, a personal initiative on my part (Jeremy Marks) arising from a concern for the pastoral needs of gay Christian people like myself. In the beginning, receiving much support from members of my local church, I left my professional career to ‘live by faith’ (trusting God for financial provision). Since then, the ministry has necessitated that my wife Bren and I invest all our personal resources (home, finances, etc.) in the work. This is still the case today. Friends, supporters and members of Courage provide the principal support base, financially and in prayer.
