Burundian boys pledge chastity (pictured above) At the close of the UCE session, one of the boys stood and announced: ''We thank God for sending us UCE team members with this good message. It gives me a new way of thinking. I was not aware of any consequences from sexual intercourse. We were even planning to abandon school and start preparing the marriage with my girlfriend. From these teachings, I realize that my future is not possible with my current behavior. I decided to abstain from that and I am going first to convince my girlfriend and then all my friends and family. May the Lord strengthen you and bless you. Amen."
Thank you all for making this pro-life, international ministry possible: the time, talent and hard work by our UCE Africa teams, the treasured financial support by our donors, and the wise leadership of the UCE Board of Directors. In this Lenten and Easter season, we ask that you remember UCE in your almsgiving.
Blessings,
Sarah Smith
UCE-USA Director
