Smart Choice Training in KwaMashu

"HIV spreads quickly when you have multiple sexual partner"

Smart choices workshops are designed to help combat the HIV epidemic by educating adolescents and young adults about choices and consequences. In the process of learning about HIV, infection and transmission, we also help students, learners and adolescents realize that they are unique, valuable and deeply loved. This is by introducing them to the Love of Christ and ultimately leading them to make a choice about their relationship with God. Its an evangelistic tool which in Durban for a while has been used in different high schools and I have had the great opportunity of being this month along side some of the church members from KwaMashu Anglican Church, an initiative of Church-led movement. In anticipation of the coming year, we will be working with some of the high schools in numerous area’s such as Ntuzuma, KwaMashu, KwaDabeka, Inanda. This is a fantastic opportunity to present Christ often in communities where spirituality means listening to Gospel music on Sunday’s. Moving from a ‘religion’ mentality to a relationship with Christ is very central to any Gospel presentation. ‘Clearly no-one is justified before God by the Law because, “the righteous will live by faith.”’ - Galations 3:11

This is me and my practical team as we round off our presentation

We had the opportunity to sit and do practicals on that day on what we had learnt so that was fun

Desk pair - Mom Price was my classmate desk pair for the day. She cracked jokes all the time as the teacher taught, I wonder how high school for her was like

Just heard from Pastor Goba that the Anglican Church CrossRoads team went to a high school from tomorrow and will be there until Thursday to teach one class Smart Choices. We praying for a great response from the teenagers and those who wish to accept Christ and get involved in their local church to link up with the Anglican church which will be discipling those school teens.

Ps. Praise the Lord for the money that was donated towards the 6 interns to attend the training that weekend. It couldn't have come at a more appropriate timing.
