After completing my in Degree Behavioural Studies majoring in Youth Issues and Diploma in Holistic Counselling, I took the big leap (AKA massive life altering adventure) in 2013 to create Standing Strong; a youth organisation providing health and wellbeing programs, workshops and one to one coaching for children and teens. Since then, we have provided over 4000 face to face programs and supported countless children, teens, families, schools and communities. Why? Paul himself wrote, “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men” (1 Cor. 1:25). In other words, the life the Lord builds in us is always tougher and longer lasting than anything any person can ever achieve—no matter how mighty, important, affluent, influential, or intelligent he or she may be. Now, I understand that all of this will appear radical and counterintuitive to some. And it is. What Jesus taught always requires faith that God truly exists and that He means what He says (Heb. 11:6). Likewise, not everyone will be able to accept how essential it is to trust Christ fully and stand on God’s Word (John 6:44–69). Fears of criticism, rejection, failure, or loss will always stop some people from going forward on the path that God has for their lives. They won’t want to become small so that the surpassing greatness of Christ can shine through them (2 Cor. 4:7). They won’t be willing to give up their opinions and dreams so that God can achieve exceedingly greater goals through them. And they will continue in their weakness. The majority of cases are transmitted by people who know they have it and are not being treated for it. It’s not a lunatic fringe. It’s not the outliers. It’s the majority.”
The dream for Standing Strong was to create a place where children could go to feel uplifted, inspired and supported, throughout the challenges and triumphs of growing up.Diane Reeve is a woman with a truly fierce spirit. Her tale is a captivating and harrowing one. Diane didn’t just survive, she thrived. She also fought for justice, not just for herself, but for others as well. I am beyond excited to be teaming up with Counsellor and Sexologist, Standing Strong Chief Operations Officer and head of Standing Strong Program Licensing & Instructor Training, Riki Shaw, to bring you the accumulation of both our knowledge and experience. That whoever believes in Him shall . . . have eternal life. Shall have a life that endures—that is counted in eternity. Through the public health clinic, Diane would learn she was very ill-- worse then she ever imagined, which suggested she had HIV for an extended time period. Highly disgusted that Philippe had never disclosed his HIV status, and infected her and others intentionally, she made up her mind to fight this sexual predator in court, to hold him accountable and stop him from infecting others. There was a high number of women victimized by him , their ages varied between the 20's to the 60's, and not many were willing to come forward or discuss the situation. Diane and another woman risked their personal safety to alert other women, and Philippe accused them of harassment and threatened to sue. Philippe showed absolutely no remorse for his crimes, nothing slowed him down, (until he was finally arrested/jailed) he continued to have multiple relationships with an unknown number of women. Equally determined were the six women who bravely brought charges against him, never finding peace of mind until he was brought to justice. During this time I have built a wealth of knowledge and experience in what it takes to not only work with young people, but to genuinely build a connection and make a difference. I have learnt what works, what doesn’t, what’s important and what’s not. I’ve had the privilege of supporting and training hundreds of youth mentors, program instructors and youth coaches and can’t wait to support more people to pursue their dream of working with children and teens.
Hello and welcome, I’m so excited learn more about you and your passion for supporting and empowering young people. My name is Kim and I am the founder of Standing Strong and co-creator of the Youth Coach Course. Real justice doesn't come around too often. I feel sorry that these women will struggle to some extent for the rest of their lives- no sentence is long enough for a man who deliberately transmits HIV to his partners. Some of the paragraphs in the book made my heart boil with pure rage and the tension of the last few chapters gave me some understanding of how awful the entire criminal justice process is for victims. The stigma associated with HIV is also clear here and the misogyny of the perpetrator is cruel and cold hearted. Okay, I can’t get inside his head, but he had to know what he was doing and the book will explain why that’s the case. His awareness of the “deadly weapon” in his pants is exactly why he was convicted. By the way, I honestly don’t want to name him because the book is about Reeve and the women she banded together with. Read the book or Google her name for the media accounts.I waited until I'd finished the book before I looked up Diane and Philippe on-line. I saw a clip of a Tv interview that Philippe did and instantly knew that every word Diane had said was true and that she hadn't exaggerated any aspect of her story. The man is clearly not of a normal personality type. Psalm 90:2 reminds us that God existed before the dawn of time and will continue to remain when time itself is no more: “Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.”
Perhaps you recall the story. “As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him; and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’ And [Saul] said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting’?” (Acts 9:3–5).
You don’t know when they’ll happen, but you can be prepared. Jesus promised you so in His Sermon on the Mount. Do you long to know how to persevere no matter what storm rages against you? Do you want to know how to build your life on the right foundation and with the design and materials that will endure? Do you yearn to be so thoroughly convinced of God’s work in your life that you can stand strong—regardless of the challenges or consequences? are transmitted by people who know they have HIV and are in medical care, but are not virally suppressed Diane Reeve, author of this book, did the same in 2007. Like the living murdered man in "D.O.A." she had been exposed to a slow-acting poison: Human Immunosuppression Virus, the source of AIDS. Unlike the movie, however, she knew exactly who had poisoned her, and had a handful of co-complainants filing charges with her against him - plus a slew of other women exposed to the AIDS virus by the accused. Today, as a mum of two young boys, I see Standing Strong through my ‘Mumma Bear’ eyes. I understand the importance of having a place like Standing Strong for our children. My goal is to continue building Standing Strong as a support network and community of strength for families to lean on, throughout the life changing journey of raising children.
Cusson, Michael (29 March 2022). "Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs". Billboard . Retrieved 27 May 2022. Whether we are eight years old, forty-eight, or eighty-eight, in the core of our hearts, we don’t want failure to characterize the end of our stories. We don’t want to be known for our worst mistakes and defeats, but for our greatest victories and triumphs. Since I was a teenager, I knew I wanted to help young people. My dream was to help children and teens to feel heard, connected, inspired and empowered to believe in themselves, and follow their dreams.
How to get involved
Charles Stanley starts this book with a look at how we view scripture. And he provides some great reasons why this is so important. Then he continues on with examining our understanding of God and our need for a Savior. Having a strong life starts with a strong foundation. Charles Stanley offers references from both the old and new Testament. One idea builds on another. And all of this leads to a strong life. If you weren’t able to watch on the night, don’t worry! You can catch up here i n your own time. Middle East: Taher and Donya So break out of your fiction rut , take off your blinders and dive into this book by a "badass bitch with an indomitable spirit". Diane Reeve with the help of Jenna Glatzer is going to help us discover the "New Face of HIV". One attendee said, “It was lovely to hear from and see some of the people we have prayed for previously. Their stand for the Lord and work in His strength was inspiring and challenging.” Reeve is a Hall-of-Fame martial artist, teacher, and studio owner. It’s clear from her story that she’s, as she says, “a badass bitch.” Instead of turning inwards at her moment of greatest life crisis, she started looking for her sister victims. And then together they turned the tables on the man who transmitted the disease and pursued him in the justice system. They helped gather evidence. They found more sisters for the “club no one wants to join,” and those new members were added to the strength of the criminal case. They cried, hugged, drank margaritas, and ultimately won their case.
