In many of the places where sponsored children live, youth become parents while still teenagers. Pray that God would give your sponsored child courage and perseverance to stay pure.

I pray for purity for all my kids that have graduated from the CDSP program…. It can be a battle for them, but loosing this battle can put them right back into the very poverty that they were being released from.
But in the midst of this, I have to also believe that God can use it. Some of Jesus’ own lineage had a prostitute, a Moabite woman, and Bathshebah in it… So, God can still use the very things that can hurt them. (Rom. 8:28)
