Apolo!
In June I traveled with Marvin, a doctor friend and a volunteer at Centro de Vida, by bus (over 40 hours!) up into the mountains to a little town called Apolo where we worked with local missionaries for a week giving abstinence presentations to local high school students. We had the opportunity to broadcast our message on the local radio station every night that reached 30 communities! While we were attending to their spiritual needs Marvin was active attending to their physical needs.
We also trained church leaders to give the abstinence presentation so we would not be needed every year. We also counseled with teens and married women in the local churches. Were shocked to find through a survey we handed out that 20% of women reported been sexually abused. This is an area of ministry that we would like to expand into in the future. Overall we presented our abstinence program to over 300 students.
