_everything is relevant...even in Ukraine!

Here's a glimpse of what the skits were teaching...

_heart skit
explanation_2 students role playing how hearts gets torn by 'going to far'; end result torn heart on wedding day once they are exchanged.
purpose_draw an understanding that 'it's never too late to do what's right' and the importance of 'saving yourself' regardless of peer pressure







_time line
explanation_5 students role playing (birth, death, marriage & puperty) how sexual self control is actually a short time from puperity to marriage compared to marriage to death.
purpose_catching the WHY be abstinence and HOW to be; two most important ?s students want to know

_fuzzy dice
explanation_6 students role play by throwing the dice and writing the 2 numbers on the board
purpose_every # represents a RISK one is willing to take if they 'gamble' by having sex before marriage #1 life goals #2 pregnancy #3 sti's #4 hiv/aids #5 emotional impact #6 relationships effected

_gift
explanation_sex is gift to cherish, save for the security of marriage where it's shared
purpose_sex not being a game or sport but a GIFT for your wedding day

_fetal models
explanation_7, 8, 9, and 10 week fetal model
purpose_the miracle of life in the womb and how abortion ends that life. It's not a blob of cells or a procedure but a miracle of life in the womb.






_students reaction_LOVE IT! Did I say LOVED IT! They were 100% engaged. A topic NOT talked about & yet high pregnancy rate and STI's. Remember students have NEVER heard this before. NEVER




All students were extremely thankful! We even interviewed students at two schools!! Once we get this translated you'll be able to hear first hand thier remarks. I'll never forget the girl after class who ran up to me, while I was walking through the halls to leave, and grabbed by arm saying, "I just loved everything you taught us. Thank you so very much for coming to Ukraine!" She spoke english sharing her heart not only for herself but I'm sure for other students. Not only in America but NOW in Ukraine God used this platform of abstinence for the gospel. It has always been my intention since the beginning in 1994; the topic of abstinence would open the doors for the Gospel.

Now, about 500 students have seen Micah so if he's on the streets playing guitar in front of the disco on Friday nights, walking into the boomi (store) or just around town he has the chance of building relationships with students!
