"Restoring the Dream"
Bringing Abstinence and Marriage to Our Youth
With everything that today's youths are receiving into their impressionable minds, two things that are shockingly absent are abstinence and marriage. Our culture has chosen to teach safe sex over no sex, while allowing marriage to become something couples should strive to avoid.
As men and women of faith concerned about our culture, we know the truth and decades of research confirm it: a man and a woman committed to lifelong marriage and sexual purity are better off in most every area of life - longevity, health, prosperity, success and happiness to just mention a few. And their children are more likely to succeed. If we could only get this truth into the hearts and minds of our children!
Well, you can - with the help of the "Restoring the Dream" Conference!
This one-day conference has been traveling the country-from Denver to Anaheim to Orlando-helping to equip parents, educators, youth pastors, counselors, and others with the tools to teach the young people in their circle of influence the benefits of abstinence and marriage. Now our sister organization, Massachusetts Family Institute, is sponsoring this conference and bringing it to Boston:
"Restoring the Dream" - Boston
Wednesday, March 5, 2007 - 8:30am-4pm
Holiday Inn Boston at Beacon Hill
Among the distinguished presenters are Maggie Gallagher, Glenn Stanton,
Scott Phelps, and Rozario Slack. You can download biographies of each of these speakers by visiting the special "Restoring the Dream" section of MFI's website.
Parents of teenagers, educators, youth pastors, counselors, youth workers - all are encouraged to attend this seminar. We are asking you to please print the attached flyer (you can also download the flyer from the website) and, with your pastor's permission, post it at your church. Be sure to hand deliver a copy of it to the youth pastor at your church and encourage him or her to attend.
We all need the teaching tools that this conference provides to restore the concept of marriage and sexual purity in the hearts and minds of our children. Our future as a nation and, more importantly, their future as individuals depend on it.
