Last fall I prayed a prayer that something like this, "Lord, would you expand my circle of life, I feel too content in Orange City."
I can easily say that this year has been one of the most exciting years of my life. Going to Uganda is an honor and thrill to me. I have never been out of the country. The part I will be playing on the team will be as an abstinence educator. My experience in teaching abstinence began about 15 years ago as a new teacher in a public school. I realized that many students are never taught how saving sex for marriage will benefit them in many areas of their lives. I have a passion for teaching abstinence. More recently I was an abstinence educator in Northwest Iowa.
I am so excited that God is using my experience to teach people His plan for sexual purity in Uganda.
Uganda has had alot of success in encouraging abstinence but it still has a high HIV/AIDS rate. Abstinence is a message that needs to be continually taught. I will be training other leaders to teach students about sexual self-control.
Pray for us to have health and energy. Pray also that we will have culturally accurate examples to share with our audience. Pray for restful sleep. Donna D
