Voices of SUPPORT

"As a youth minister for 28 years I have seen the destructive effect of sex outside of marriage. Healthy Futures teaches teens the real truth about sex. I recommend this life-changing program to all youth workers."
- Rev. Larry Brown
Director of Youth Ministry Development Project, Emmanuel Gospel Center

"What a positive impact your sexual abstinence workshop has had! Several of our youth have made a commitment to God and to themselves to remain pure until marriage."
- Elder Hu White
Youth Pastor, Holy Tabernacle Church of God

"The presentation was outstanding. What [the kids at the retreat] appreciated most about the presentation was that it was real. For them, speaking so openly about sex in this type of setting was something new."
- Emmanuel J. Daphnis
Youth President, New Jerusalem Evangelical Baptist Church

"I felt very comfortable bringing this faith-based organization to teach abstinence until marriage to our students. The material presented was both developmentally appropriate and culturally sensitive. The willingness of the Healthy Futures educators to be open about their own personal decisions to be abstinent, some after choosing to sexually involved and regretting it, made a strong impression on the students. I whole-heartedly recommend this program to other Christian schools."
- Gregg Meserole
Director of Student Life, Lexington Christian Academy

"I learned that you can choose to be abstinent even after you've gone too far. I like that you guys were open and honest."

"I think it is a great idea. It helps students learn and understand their future. It's the 'talk' some parents are afraid to give."

This program is great."
