And now for something completely different…
Special Emphasis Day. No regular classes. A conference day to focus on a particular topic. This year’s topic: Sexuality.

On arrival at school students did not go to normal classes, but signed in, picked up a name tag, found out which small group they are in, and picked up a backpack specially made and ordered for this special day.

After a time of worship and singing, Rev. Nnoke (father of one of our students) opened the conference with a talk about Biblical Purity.

Throughout the day students attended various breakout sessions on such topics as Tech Temptations, LGBTQ and the Christian, Biblical Manhood / Womanhood, Biblical Singleness, and Puberty. Students also met in their assigned small groups for discussions.

Other topics covered in large group settings included STDs, recognizing abuse, and a humorous look at “spouse hunting.” All in all it t was a great day, and well received — especially considering such a delicate (and embarassing to some) topic!
