NASHVILLE — “True Love Waits,” the sexual abstinence campaign spearheaded by Southern Baptists, celebrated its 10th anniversary in an Athens theater in the shadow of the Olympics.
More than 460,000 cards from youth across the globe who’ve committed to abstinence before marriage were received in time for the Aug. 22 rally. The ministry reported that the cards were sent from more than 20 countries, with an excess of 200,000 coming from AIDS-stricken South Africa. The keynote speaker at the rally attended by a few hundred people was Olympian Carl Lewis, who encouraged students to “set yourself apart in your group by being a leader and not giving in to what others are doing.” (TAB)
