Talking about sexual integrity/purity
March 31, 2010I worked with Delia at the school while Tom and Dean piled firewood when it wasn't raining.
We went to PC 3/4 and I was able to facilitate a group discussion on sexual integrity/purity, STDs, pregnancy, abortion, post-abortion recovery with the young women there. It was attended by 13 young women, including one who is 4.5 months pregnant, as well as the facility social worker and two translators. It was well received and very much appreciated. I was told that this was information that they had never received. We talked about God's will and desire for our lives with respect to sexual activity. They all knew that they were supposed to wait until marriage, but they didn't really know why. The young woman who is pregnant stated that she thought that abortion was a sin. I told her that I was proud of her for choosing life for her child and commended her for wanting to offer her child something that she never had, but we also had the opportunity to talk about how difficult it is to be a pregnant, unwed, young woman and the other young women agreed that was something that none of them them wanted for themself.
We went to Betel Church in Resita. Tom and I shared testimonies and Dean shared the message.
