FIGHT NIGHT REVIEWS
‘The FIGHT NIGHT led by Adrian Rowse and the Roundabout Ministries team was incredible! It was truly one of the most impacting nights for our young adult men here at Christian City Church I have ever witnessed. From the media presentation, music and message, it all carried a heart of grace and purity. The small group discussion time at the end of the night was really the thing that sealed it for our guys. It was honest, life changing and built our church in a real way. I would not hesitate in recommending The Fight DVD resource, the FIGHT NIGHT event and Adrian Rowse as a minister of reconciliation to youth, young adults and men ministries around the country and beyond. I pray you would partner with this significant ministry in the near future for the sake of young men, the church and the lost’.
(Joshua Kelsey - young adults pastor and leader of CHANGE community and AWAKENING Conference - Christian City Church, Oxford Falls, Sydney, NSW)

I was addicted to porn from age 16 to 20.
I was a youth leader and worship leader in my church.
I loved God with a passion.
I hated my addiction.
Yet I couldn't break free.
I never shared my secret.
Something had to break.
I took a chance.
I shared my struggle with someone for the first time.
They didn't know what to say.
But they did point me to someone who could help.
Over the next 4-5 years, my life changed BIGTIME.
It was a period of all-out WAR as God taught me strategies for 'The Fight'.
Since, then I've been sharing what I've learnt with young men and women all over the globe.
Our world is sex-saturated and porn is considered 'acceptable'.
But there is another standard.
For those who choose to join 'The Fight'.
'The Fight' is a 30 day devotional journey for Christian guys that tackles the issues of pornography, purity and developing passion for God. It contains 2.5 hours of inspirational and biblical teaching and testimonies on DVD that will equip you with strategies and tools for:
renewing the mind,
using God's Word as a weapon,
building acountable relationships,
breaking and replacing destructive habits/addictions,
growing in passionate relationship with God,
and much more.
The Fight somes with the bonus album, 'SONGS FOR THE FIGHT', containing 14 tracks from the hottest Australia Christian artists and bands as well as a 68 page 'FightPlan' manual containing reflection questions and small group discussion material.
The Fight is a must-have resource for youth pastors throughout the world.
'Every youth pastor and Christian young man on the planet needs a copy of The Fight', (MJ: Youth Pastor & Host of The Reality Zone: Internationally syndicated youth radio show).

Young adults who are going all out to give of themselves for a higher cause than themselves.
Youth pastors who are investing their lives in the coming generations.
WATUP Peeps!!! This is Larry with a huge praise report. I had to honor of sharing my testimony about God's victory of my addiction to pornography before my entire church (that's 4000+ people - saved and unsaved) and the Lord has shown up greatly in the midst of it all.
So many guys (men and young guys) are coming out the wood works to express their unwillingness to main silent, afraid, ashamed and deceived by the devil. God, you are so good to us all.
Thanks for keeping "the Fight" alive!! If I ever make my way to your neck of the woods, I will definitely give a shout. Thanks for following the word of God and encouraging us to live out loud. Stay blessed!
Are you hosting an event at this year's Easterfest? I found out about your Gold Coast Fight Night, but have commitments to youth group being a leader and all haha. I hope to make your Toowoomba night though, when's that dated for? Cheers and God bless, Sean
Keep fighting the good fight down under! My sister's just moved to a YWAM base in Brisbane, actually -- the one who played violin for us at Huntley Street. But you're no where near, are you?!

Hey, thanks for the add =) I think I'm one of those very few Christian guys who the devil hasn't heavily attacked from the angle of porn, but I love what you're doing by the sounds of things so far, and I definitely see how it would be helpful for every guy who seeks to live a pure life. Keep it real!
