It’s Here!

The container arrived…filled with 30,000 full-color books for our AIDS prevention program. Since the semi wouldn’t make it through our front gate, we cut our fence and cleared a road through the grass so it could drive into our property. It made it through just fine, and the container was dropped off in the place it will call home for a very long time. As soon as we possibly could, we threw the doors open and got a good look at our new curriculums.

Living on Purpose has a journal format, leading students on a personal journey to discover their purpose and destiny. Save Sex is more magazine-style, but it’s more than just eye-catching and appealing. It’s packed with incredible truths that will help students commit to a lifestyle of abstinence.

So many people were involved in this whole process. Brittany, who focused on curriculum development last year, did a fantastic job writing these curriculums. She spent months researching, writing, and rewriting. Kudos, Brit! Jenn and Amanda, along with one of our interns last year, helped with editing and cultural contextualization. Dave took their words and turned them into the masterpieces they are, with his tireless design work. He also coordinated the shipment of the container, working with some of our ministry partners in the States who received all the books and other items, and loaded them into the container.

From start to finish, it was a team effort, and we know God’s all over these things. We can’t wait to get them into students’ hands!

   These curriculums were printed over 4 months ago so as you can image I didn’t waste very much time opening up the boxes to get a peak.

   I am happy that God is raising men that can forget about their goals and focus on God’s work, these materials will surely draw more young ones to christ and teach them how to live a godly life. I want to be a part of the team but for now an online member because of my work schedule.
