CARP Las Vegas Sends a Message: Sexual Integrity is the Answer

CARP Las Vegas Sends a Message: Sexual Integrity is the Answer

On Saturday, November 2nd, over 170 attendees gathered to take a stand for a life of sexual integrity at CARP Las Vegas’s 5th Campus Talk: You Are Worth More at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Student Union Ballroom.

Although this Campus Talk was about standing firmly for sexual integrity, the spirit of the conference was very inviting and friendly, regardless if participants completely resonated with the perspectives being offered. That being said, in a collegiate environment where it is difficult to stand up for certain values, Campus Talk was a great place to gain conviction and stand together.

I had always been very ambitious growing up. My greatest desire in life was to change the world and contribute to world peace. I never really knew how I would do it, but I knew it was something I deeply valued. Being surrounded by the CARP members in Las Vegas sparked a desire in me to come back and continue to support the work that CARP was doing.

To do so meant leaving behind my family, my community, and the college I was looking forward to attending in Maryland. I had no idea what exactly being a part of CARP would entail, but there was an undeniable gut feeling that led me to go against many of the desires of those around me to stay in Maryland. There was no doubt that I could do the work of God while I was home, but I could not deny that there was something uniquely precious about the work that was being done in Las Vegas.
