Yesterday the youth of our church and many other churches made a pledge of purity. True Love Waits is a wonderful concept to get young people to make a pledge to remain sexually pure until God brings them into a Biblical Marriage. At our church we had 200 young people recommit to this pledge or take the pledge for the first time. Both our older girls participated this year, Arielle for recommitment and Danielle for the first time. While I believe it is the job of parents to teach and encourage Purity to all areas of our children's lives I appreciate our Church for their willingness to support our young people on this tough walk. The world is throwing so much garbage their way it is great that a a corporate body of believers we can come together and pray and love on these young people. We are proud of our children and their stand of faith.

Outstanding. Looks like a great program and some wonderful young ladies. Yes, given the pressure put on children nowadays, such programs are great.

I think this is awesome!!! It's a great program and it's amazing how many of our kids really do want to remain pure. Praying that peer pressure does not affect our kids. :) Josh is in the last couple of weeks of the program at our church... he originally went through when he was in the 7th grade too. :)
