We believe
that a good foundation makes for a strong family. We
begin teaching youth the importance of marital commitment,
then young couples the truths of marriage, and we speak
out concerning these issues.
Outreach through Teaching Youth
Homes of Hope, together with Focus on the Family, teaches
classes in abstinence to secondary (high school) and
tertiary school (university) students, using the "No
Apologies" curriculum of abstinence and sexual
faithfulness.
Mothers
from the Home and church youth are taught to teach
the curriculum to secondary students. Outreach through Teaching
Couples
Couples are
encouraged to attend premarital or newlywed group counseling
classes. In addition, they receive counseling on the
basics of marriage, including intimacy.
Outreach through Sharing
Youth and single moms go to the streets to converse
with prostitutes and high-risk youth. This includes
the young
Asian garment workers who frequent the capital's
streets.
Outreach through Media
Homes of Hope has been offered many opportunities on
radio, newspapers, and television to share information
on the
issues of sexual abstinence, single parenting, family
life, marriage, rape, and child abuse. |
