The LINC Network (network for youth pastors) which consists of over a dozen churches in the bay area has been working hard at hosting a WAIT Training Certification Seminar in our area. We believe this training would better equip pastors, educators, parents and other influential adults to prepare our teenagers to develop healthy relationships with others especially with those of the opposite sex. WAIT training (www.waittraining.org) is a sex and relationship education program which empowers teens and their parents by teaching them relationship and boundary setting skills and providing them with tools to help them abstain from sexual activity and other high risk behaviors. WAIT encourages students to make healthy choices and focus on their goals and dreams. It does not expect them to fail in the area of sexual health or assume a back-up plan is necessary because their failure is expected. Instead, it teaches positive relationship skills and the affects of teen sex on their health and how it diminishes their chances to achieve their goals and dreams. WAIT teaches students skills in order to develop and maintain healthy relationships. It promotes healthier relationships with peers, parents, and other authority figures. WAIT has a profound impact in the lives of teens and those who want to make better choices regarding their sexual decisions. The results have been phenomenal. It is unlike any program I have ever witnessed.
The LINC Network will be hosting a WAIT Training Certification Seminar February 4-5 at Clear Creek Community Church in League City TX. The seminar will give you the tools to teach this curriculum and qualifies you to teach it within a school system. If you are interested in participating you can register at www.waittraining.org.
If you are not ready to commit but interested in learning more about Wait Training please come to our Free Community Awareness Event on Tuesday, January 18th from 6:30pm – 8:00 pm. Clear Creek Community Church (Mix Auditorium, upstairs of Bldg. B.) 999 Egret Bay Blvd. N. - League City, TX 77573.
