MOUNT VERNON — After living as a transgender prostitute, David Arthur in 2009 was told that he had contracted HIV-AIDS and had only three months to live; medication was no longer a viable option. David laid in his hospital bed afraid to die when he experienced a life-altering epiphany.
“I was in a hospital bed under Hospice care when I read a verse in the Bible which says: “And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error,” (Romans 1:27).

“Those words of that Bible passage and the memory of a correctional officer who preached to me in prison compelled me to start praying and confessing my sins to the Heavenly Father,” says Arthur speaking at Trinity at the Eastern Gate in Pickerington, Ohio.
Now, ten years later, Arthur encourages people to leave the LGBT lifestyle thru his ministry I Belong Amen Ministries.
“Recently I witnessed to two transsexual prostitutes who were molested as children, which is how the LGBT movement recruits its numbers. In our conversation they told me they knew that GOD did not create them to be this way (transsexual) and they hugged me when I told them the truth about the movement. We have to stop loving people to death and start loving people to life.”

Growing up without a father, David grew up naturally seeking that closeness from a man that he was lacking.
“I was molested by several adult men throughout my childhood before kindergarten. I associated negative sexual attention with the intimacy I desired. By age nine I was cutting school early to go to bus stops and public restrooms to have encounters with dirty old men since I desired closeness. At that time, that was the only intimacy I knew.”
David admits that the more feminine he acted, the more attention he received.
“I began to start dressing as a girl despite the objections of my mother. At age fourteen, I left the house and went to the streets of Philadelphia. I was embraced by the LGBT movement and they took me under their wings since I was young and tender. Eventually I started injecting female hormones. While kids my age were thinking about their first school dance, my goal was to become the best prostitute I could be.”
After abusing drugs and getting arrested several times, David went to prison and met a corrections officer who told him he was a man and not a transgender. The guard also began planting seeds in David’s life by telling him the story of Saul who later became Paul. The guard even told David one day he would set many captives free.
By 2008 David began having back issues and became hunched over needing the assistance of a walker. He was told he had full-fledged osteoporosis with brittle bones due to female hormones he took.
A year later David had full blown AIDS.
“My immunity system was decimated with T-cells going from ten-thousand to zero. I had Infections in my blood, my brain, and boils on my skin were covering my entire body.”
After David’s encounter with truth, his body went thru an extreme makeover; doctors testing David had no scientific explanation for the miraculous turnaround of his immunity system. They had never seen a viral load as high as David’s and then suddenly go undetectable. In fact David’s bone density today is actually better now than what a man of his age should be.
David feels GOD has saved him and given him an assignment to reach others who are missing that love of a father.
“Society mistakenly denotes intimacy as being sexual. True intimacy is sharing a close bond with someone like David shared with Jonathan in the Bible. Since my experience with GOD, I now know I am going to Heaven. I will take anything this world has to throw at me because I am no longer who I once was. The reason I am not who I was is because I was able to learn that intimacy is GOD-given and His plan is best.”
