In 2007, one of Academy NW's most promising grads who had earned a full ride college scholarship committed suicide 6 months after graduation due to on-line gambling debt. Recently, another young man who had always demonstrated excellent character and strong spirtual growth admitted to his parents his on-line pornography addiction. A young lady who had been homeschooled her whole life was totally in love with a man 7 years older whom she had never met. I could give many stories, even from diligent parents who didn't know what was going on in their student's hidden life. These parents probably wish they had attended the EXPOSED seminar.
You don't know what you don't know. The Internet and social networking can be a dragon that slays and burns this generation or we can train and equip them to arm themselves from the dangers while using the technology to enrich faith and relationships and build character.
If you haven't signed up for the EXPOSED seminar Oct 10, you will miss out on learning what you don't know and the best approaches for your kids and the dragons they will experience on the Internet and through social networking:
Brian Aaby, a mentor to youth, youth pastors, and parents with youthmark.com has figured out how to master the dragon.
Too far to drive, too much to pay? Many people drive much further and pay much more to hear their favorite band or watch their favorite sports team. And that is just entertainment. This is an investment into your children! Be pro-active and don't miss this opportunity.
Since this is not only for Academy Northwest families, invite your friends too! Early registration discount ends Oct 3. Use the link below to forward this on to friends and family who care about this next generation.
