Youth Vow To Remain Pure
Holiness is what I long for...Righteousness is what I need...Brokenness is what You want from me... So take my heart, and mold it..." These words illustrate the theme of the fourth Annual Pure Reality retreat: "Broken and Restored," and express the sentiments of all those who were in attendance. Camp Kulaqua, located in High Springs, Fla., was filled to capacity as nearly 450 attendees and staff occupied the rustic setting from April 18-20.
One attendee said: "Being at Pure Reality has turned my views and expectations and has convinced me to change the non-Christian lifestylethat I was living. Having the knowledge has completely made me turn my life to Jesus Christ."
From as far as Huntsville, Ala., Atlanta, Ga., and Nassau, Bahamas, people came to participate in Pure Reality, a biblically-sound, character-based campaign that educates, defines and explores God's design for sex and a lifestyle of purity for young people from 12 to young adult.
