Indonesian Youth Commit to Abstinence

July 29, 2008

About 150 campers attended a national Alliance youth retreat in Indonesia recently. “The week was jam-packed with fun-filled activities from music to community-building exercises,” said Alliance missionary Jim Kendall. The campers participated in nightly services, relevant seminars, evangelistic activities, and youth leadership training. One of the highlights of the retreat was a “love, sex, and dating” seminar that ended with about one-third of the youth making vows of abstinence until marriage. “Follow-up sessions are already planned,” said Kendall. “Praise the Lord for His answer to the prayers of many. Pray that seed sown will continue to bear fruit.”

Pray.

The Alliance believes wholeheartedly in the power and necessity of prayer. We cannot “Live the Call Together” unless prayer is central to all we do—as a denomination, as churches, and as individuals.

Give.

You can help build Christ’s Church around the world by donating online to the Great Commission Fund. This fund finances our missionaries, allowing them to focus on ministry rather than raising their own support.
