What you are saying
This is just some of the recent feedback received from Silver Ring Thing’ers:
“Hi there, I’m from KZN Margate. I’m in matric this year and I pledged in 2006, I just wanted to thank you guys SO much for inspiring my group of friends and I to keep it real by staying pure for Jesus. I’d love to have the chance to share God’s word and encourage other teens to abstain.” B
“Good Morning Silver Ring. i am still faithful to the commitment i had 4 years ago to stay abstinent until marriage. God is helping me with that. i encourage others to do the same even though people laugh at me for abstaining but one day i will thank God and my parents who are my accountability partners. we talk about a lot of things pressure boys and sex they are not afraid to talk to me. i just want to say keep up the good work and thak you for the pictures i saw myself in the gallery. God bless Silver Ring” DM
“Ek het in Junie 2004 een van julle shows in Rustenburg bygewoon, en dit was vir my as ‘n 14 jarige meisie iets amazing. Ek is nou amper 20 en dra steeds my ring, en is glad nie van plan om dit binnekort af te haal nie….” MW
“I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys are doing. May God bless you that you may continue with the great work. I’m also a Christian and would like to remain pure until the day I get married. Do keep up the good work. ” PD
“True! everything that was said was a reality and it happens in life The best for now is WAITING” TZ
“Silver Ring Thing, you are like our second mothers. You really care about the future of this country, I enjoyed the show more than I thought I would. May the Lord almighty be with you and bless everything you’ll be doing in the future.” VM
“The show was very touching because I’ve learned a lot that you must marry first before you have sex and I appreciated the love and devotion I received from you.” NH
“Thank you for coming to South Africa, I am so impressed with the way you have portrayed abstinence, you have shown so many young people that it can be “cool” to be a virgin and not engage ourselves in sex.”
“The SRT Bible is best gift I’ve received this year. wow , i was honestly challenged to staying pure and all avoiding temptations, it’s sometimes really difficult for me. with a lot of prayer, I’m surviving. My accountability partner gave me this verse to ponder on 2 Philippians 2:15 – “So that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault, in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the heavens.”
“I’m 28yrs – probably a bit older than the usual crowd, but I’ve gone through a very painful divorce and it’s not easy making an abstinence commitment if you have been married before, and you are lonely and miserable. But, I don’t want to set myself up to get hurt again, and I want to do things right this time. God is healing the scars and it doesn’t happen over-night, but having made this choice and seeing the physical symbol (the ring) encourages me and makes me stronger emotionally.”
“Well im still keeping to my commitment to abstaining! and God has been so good I got engaged to the man of dreams and luckily we are both silver ring thingers!! so I was wondering if you have any cool ideas for me,that I can do for the ’silver ring exchange ceremony!”
“The Silver Ring Thing is AWESOME. It is such an eye opener. Recommended for everyone who has had sex or is thinking about having it.”
