Apostolic Moral Purity is nearing the end of its sixth year. It has been a while since I last offered an update, and I wish to do so now. Apostolic Moral Purity (AMP) is an endorsed ministry of the UPCI. The purpose of AMP is to educate, support, and offer recovery to men, women, and wives on their journey toward wholeness.
For men dealing with sexual brokenness, pornography addiction, and related issues, we offer two Saturday support groups for men ready to address their addiction and be honest throughout the process. In addition, AMP offers two closed groups that delve deeper into recovery and provide a safe, confidential platform for connection.
Although AMP addresses the behavior associated with this addiction, our primary concern is recognizing and addressing what drives that behavior. Healing the wounds of the past allows relationships to blossom in ways never experienced before.
I am extremely thankful for the support offered to betrayed wives. AMP provides support and recovery groups for wives, offering a safe, confidential path to healing.
Something New
Recently, a new support group began helping divorced wives who have experienced betrayal, enabling them to process their grief, rebuild their identity in Christ, and move forward with renewed hope.
DayStar Ministries, the parent organization of AMP, provides qualified counseling for sexual addiction and for trauma and abuse recovery. There is a great deal of pain in our churches, and we are here to walk alongside those in need on the healing journey.
AMP is developing an Apostolic curriculum for use in the local church setting. More to come on that.
Over the past six years, Apostolic Moral Purity has benefited hundreds of men and women on their journey toward wholeness in Christ. We are currently working across three continents and expect to continue our global growth, as this is a global issue affecting the church.
Apostolic Moral Purity seeks your prayers and support. We are here to serve you. For more information about how we can help you or your congregation, email me (dsirstad@dsministries.com) or visit our website.

Is Anger Good or Bad?
It’s been said that anger is one of the most fundamental negative emotions. Just hearing the word, most of us immediately think of a negative experience we’ve had with it. We typically don’t like the word and often want to disguise anger by using other words such as annoyed, perturbed, aggravated, peeved, hurt, or frustrated. However, knowing that anger is not necessarily a negative emotion is helpful. Anger can have a very positive function. It’s how we express our anger that makes it negative or positive. God designed anger to have a positive function; we tend to misuse it most of the time. What does God say about this emotion? Ephesians 4:26, “Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the…
