The X Fund

An incredible way to see the potential of your life is to look at the opportunities you have from someone else’s point of view. This video is an extrememly powerful look at the world from millions of kids across the globe:

Imagine from LOVE146 on Vimeo.

How does this video make you feel? Angry? Upset? Disgusted? It should. But one thing I hope this video inspires you to realize is the opportunity we have to make sex about something so wonderful, insead of something so selfish.

When teenagers hear the word “virgin” what’s the typical response? It’s usually in the context of a joke, or making fun of someone right? But what about after watching this video? Is the idea of being innocent such a joke any more?

Think about how badly these girls would prize their virginity if they had the chance. If one of these little girls was given a brand new start in America, do you think she would lose her virginity in high school, or do you think she would save herself for a man who loved her to the point of committing himself to her in marriage?

You see, these girls have no chance to save the priceless gift of their sexuality because their innocence is stolen from them. We have every chance at it (WE GET TO CHOOSE!) and our culture tells us to throw it right away.

I truly believe that each of us knows deep down in our hearts that our sexuality is worth far more than the media tells us. Whether you’ve lost your virginity or not, you deserve someone who will wait for you. You can live sexually pure.

So what if we offered you a chance to be a part of a movement that is inspiring people in our own communities to make sex about something greater than cheap, temporary pleasure we see on TV? What if this same effort rescued children from sex slavery so they could have the chance to save their virginity for something wonderful?

We invite you to join the X Fund. Here are the basics:

-Find a friend who is also serious about saving himself/herself sexually for marriage.

-Every day you save yourself sexually, you put away a quarter, dime, nickel-whatever you decide. Your partner does the same, and each week you exchange the change you’ve set aside. This gives both of you accountability and encouragement for staying pure.

-Each month, you gather your change and donate it to Ball for Lives. We take all the money donated from across the country and send it to organizations (like Love146) that are rescuing child prostitues.

YOUR PURITY=A CHANCE FOR THEM TO BE PURE!

Much more info is on the way about The X Fund (like why we’re calling it that) and how you can bring it to your school, youth group, and church.

Don’t settle with your life! See the amazing opportunity God has given you. So many others are wishing for that chance.
