Silver Ring Thing

Real life questions and answers about sex.
Silver Ring Thing uses sketch comedy and music videos to make the abstinence point. To the get the point across, the Silver Ring Thing program features high-tech club-style lighting, videos and, of course, a sweet sound system!

 

The History of the Silver Ring Thing
Silver Ring Thing (SRT) sexual abstinence program was created by Denny Pattyn and the Youth FORUM Southwest leadership team in 1995. The program was designed to attract the attention of the typical 21st century teenager and offer them protection from the destructive effects of America's sex obsessed culture.
In 2000, Denny joined the John Guest Team as the Executive Director and brought with him his vision for the Silver Ring Thing program. It was here that the national SRT program was developed.

The first "CALL FOR LEADERSHIP" training was held in Horizon in the West Rand, Johannesburg, South Africa, on 18 March 2006. The Purpose of this training was to energise and develop the leadership potential amongst young people. This event proved to be a great success!

 

Elvis Mvulane and Bert Watson taught a combination of Doug Field's 'Purpose Driven Youth Ministry' and John C. Maxwell's Million Leaders Mandate, Workbook 1.

 

There were 65 people attending, including some passionate pastors, existing youth volunteers and even potential future youth volunteers. The respond from the attendees was positive and they also emphasised the need for this training in the future.
