I was flipping through the channels and I landed on TBN. The host was interviewing this guy with a afro. Upon further observation, I noticed it was A.C. Green, the former NBA player.
A.C. Green is known for his great basketball skills but also for his stand on abstinence. He spent 16 years in the NBA and not once did he engage in sex...an incredible feat.
The TBN interview was very intriguing because he spoke of the importance of abstinence education for our youth. He has a foundation called the A.C. Youth Foundation. It's about building character, building strong minds and strong bodies, winning and losing with dignity, teamwork and sacrifice. Among many other things, he provides programs that ignites dreams and promotes an abstinence program that says it's okay to wait until marriage.
He created an activities book entitled Game Plan, which uses a positive, sports-themed approach to understanding the benefits of abstinence. The eight-session program helps teens to formulate a game plan for their future and helps them to decide for themselves that abstinence is the healthiest choice.
What better way to promote abstinence than to live your life in that same manner!
Thanks A.C. Green!
Check out reasons to wait...given by the children in his foundation!
