Asitia
Abstinence Education Program Curriculum
- Church
(From
the Why kNOw? Abstinence Education Program)
The goal of this course is to help young
people understand that their sexuality is a gift from God. Our
Creator has a plan for each person He created. He has planned out
the sum of our days before even one of them came to be. In Jeremiah
29:11, His word says: "For I know the plans I have for you,"
declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future." Our purpose is to lead young
people to the truth that God's plan includes our sexuality, and to
help them come to the conclusion on their own that saving sex for
marriage is the best choice for them spiritually, emotionally, and
physically.
