Acceptable Message

On Saturday Living Hope will hold its annual Wait 4 Me event, which promotes sexual abstinence to teenagers. To attend the gathering, students must first attend a presentation and sign a card pledging to remain abstinent until marriage. From an American’s perspective, the amazing thing is that not only are these presentations made in our afternoon Teens Clubs, but also in public schools around Cape Town’s South Peninsula. It’s such a contrast to schools in the U.S., where teaching a Bible-based abstinence message is unheard of these days. By the way, about 600 kids have made the pledge.
