What Teens are saying…

The message that “Abstinence is a positive choice for teens today” is well accepted by our young people. Responses taken from near one thousand young people after viewing the message of “The price tag of sex” have been consistently positive

Comments from local students

“The price tag of sex, and it is not cheap.”

“I am going to change my ways.”

“Never did I think sex before marriage would even be a thought for me, but it was. Fortunately I didn't have sex and this video made me sooo grateful!”

Are we making a difference?

Sometimes Satan puts doubts in our minds as to whether we are making an impact in young lives. God is so good that He knows when we need encouragement.

Just this week we had a phone call and a letter from two girls who saw the program in 1998, and both shared how it has impacted their lives then and now.

A couple of years ago I attended a talk at my school titled “The price tag of sex”! It had an amazing effect on me and many of my friends. It opened my eyes to the seriousness of the issue and uncovered things about sex and STDs that I had never heard before and have never heard since.

I know there have been countless times since I have left school and gone on to university that I have recalled things from that talk.

I now have friends who are making the same transition but have been blinded to the realities that Pam talked about. I really think this is the most valuable talk they could hear at this time.“

This young lady has asked for a copy of the video so she can show her friends.
