True Love Waits
Created in April, 1993, and sponsored by LifeWay Christian Resources True Love Waits is an international campaign that challenges teenagers and college students to remain sexually abstinent until marriage. To date, over a million young people have signed covenant cards stating: “Believing that true love waits, I make a commitment to God, myself, my family, my friends, my future mate, and my future children to be sexually abstinent from this day until the day I enter a biblical marriage relationship.” Golden Gate Missionary Baptist Church has decided to become a part of this program in an effort to challenge our young people to strive for even greater things.
