 What STUDENTS are saying about PINC… “PINC Ministries has really had an effect on me. As a senior in high school I feel that I am still maturing and having to make hard choices. Choices about who you are going to date and what to look for, what is going to happen in your relationships that you may have, and what to do in many different situations that may occur in your relationship. PINC has really helped me in making those decisions. PINC even has educated me on what you are to do when you grow older and become engaged to the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with. PINC gives you signs to look for in a relationship that is unhealthy and when you should leave those relationships. Overall, PINC is a huge help and somewhat of a necessity for a teenage girl’s spiritual growth and maturity.”  Katie, 12th grade“I just wanted to express my thanks for all you said. While I have always been a Christian, I had never consciously made to decision to be abstinent until marriage, but after hearing you and your husband speak, I have made that decision. You have really made a profound impact on my life, during just three sessions. I think so much of you for that, and I am eternally grateful.” Zach, 14 years old “This was the first year that I have had the opportunity to be involved in any kind of youth program that has really hit home and that I can relate to. PINC really did give me many different perspectives on life and my struggles in my faith. It has shown me that there are other girls out there just like me and that there really are people out there that care and understand. It has been a great way for me to know God outside of the general Christian High School setting and has really helped me understand what he wants for me as far as my future mate and the kinds of friends He wants me to have. I really learned a lot and I will always encourage any girls thinking of going to go with an open mind. Even as a senior, it really is worth your time!” Taylor, 18 years old “PINC has been a rewarding experience because it has taught me so many things, and helped me grow to become a stronger Christian. I am a junior and I am a faithful Christian but I still struggle with the normal problems that come with being a teenage girl. PINC has helped give me the support and encouragement I need to get through it.” Allison, 11th grade “PINC has taught me to be more open and not to care what others think about me. PINC has also taught me how to dress the right way. I think whoever hasn’t been a part of PINC should try it out- it was SO much fun!” Erin, 7th grade “I really liked PINC! It made me realize that I will have a much better relationship with my husband if I wait to have sex until marriage. I also learned what I should and should not wear. Ashley is awesome and she has taught me a lot!” Whitney, 8th grade “Having PINC in my life has been such a blessing. The PINC program has made such a difference in the attitude and actions that girls at our school have about purity in Christ.” Gabi, 9th Grade  What PARENTS are saying about PINC… “I thought your conference was awesome! I'm so glad my daughter and the girls from our church were able to attend. You're equipping young woman to keep themselves pure in a world that is constantly bombarding them with sexual messages. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your conference, God bless you and keep up the good work!” Cari, Mother of a teen girl 
“Being the father of a teen-aged daughter, I can assure you that I’m cautious and quite particular about who has an influence on my girl. In Ashley Hicks, I find embodied the qualities that my wife and I highly value… the kind of influences that we seek after for the sake of our daughter. I’ve literally known Ashley all her life and have had the privileged vantage point of seeing the unique grace of God made evident as she has as she developed into the beautiful woman she is today. I’m proud to be associated with a young person so full of passion and drive for excellence in the realm of righteousness and purity before the Lord.”J. Daniel Smith, Music Pastor and father of a teen girl “Your site and your program are truly a blessing from God. I am so glad that you are getting the message out that these young girls who are so valuable and need to know who they are in Christ.” Darcey, Mother in Georgia “Ashley Hicks and PINC Ministries have a strong and motivating message to teen girls today. I’ve heard her speak and watched her motivate young ladies to commit to being different than what society is teaching them. She is influencing teen girls in a big way and every church should hear and see what Ashley has to deliver as she presents the truth in such a positive and relevant way. My daughter has been affected by Ashley’s message and I highly recommend you take the opportunity to bring the ministry of PINC to your school or church.” Hyman Stansky, Father of a teen girl What YOUTH PASTORS are saying about PINC… “Thank you for coming and speaking to my girls. You spoke their language, you knew their hopes and fears, you inspired them, you made them laugh, but most of all you confronted my girls with the truth and made them choose. I was also very impressed with the way you transformed our youth facility into a PINC paradise. When my girls walked through the doors they knew that they were being catered to. You earned your audience by leaving no stone unturned. If you’re looking for a culturally relevant and well organized event for 6th - 12th grade girls; I highly recommend PINC ministries.” Josh Giere, Bethesda Community Church “Ashley and everyone at PINC Ministries are on target with a fresh, relevant and targeted message on purity. From the “Yes and No” fashion show, to the SPA sessions to connecting with parents…PINC and Ashley brought into the light that purity is not only about relationships but also encompasses style, attitude and the girls place in society. The conference was of the highest quality and we will without hesitation call on PINC and Ashley again in the future.” Jack Hunt, Elevate Student Ministries, Christ Church What SCHOOLS are saying about PINC… “PINC has providing our students with an opportunity to explore and define their values and goals from a Christ-centered perspective. For our students, this has meant looking beyond commercial role models to considering life-styles and decisions that honor God and each other. PINC has had a significant impact on our school.” Dr. Penny A. Armstrong President and Headmaster, Southwest Christian School “The PINC Conference was wonderful and the girls loved everything about it. The speakers were great and related to each girl in a different way while delivering the message of PINC in a practical and Godly manner. Overall it was a huge success and we are so thankful that we had this opportunity to present inspire truth and life to the girls of BCS!” Lisa Boyett, Brazosport Christian School 
“Ashley Hicks presented her message to Fort Bend Baptist middle school students as a follow-up to courses in human sexuality. Our purpose in asking her to speak during chapel to the entire student body (grades 6-8, 225 students) was to place an emphasis on God’s perspective in all relationships. In addition, Ashley spoke with all 7th and 8th grade girls in small groups throughout the day. These smaller groups allowed the girls to discuss their deeper personal questions that often confuse young teenagers.Ashley was immediately received and welcomed by the students. Her appearance and demeanor connected with their age and culture, and her modesty demonstrated to the students that they can look cute and still maintain a good testimony. Ashley’s ability to speak to the large audience as well as with small groups is a statement of her versatility. I personally enjoyed visiting with Ashley and hearing about her passion to serve the Lord in the manner for which He has equipped her. She loves the Lord and He radiates through her.” Mrs. Judy Hassell Middle School Counselor, Fort Bend Baptist Academy What ORGANIZATIONS are saying about PINC… “Celebrate Kids, Inc. has been very fortunate in meeting Ashley Hicks of PINC Ministries. We have used her for “Girls Only” assemblies in both our Abstinence Education program and our Alcohol Reduction program. The response from both students and educators was extremely positive, with many of them wanting her to return for more. Ashley’s personal story is interwoven with practical advice to teenage girls (and guys!) on basics like the music you listen to, the clothing you choose, the words you speak and the activities you participate in. While many adults think the teens around us are hearing this at home, we know from working with them that they don’t! They are so grateful for the guidance of a young woman who speaks from experience about what works and what will help protect their heart, mind, and body. We would give a high recommendation to any group who was interested in hiring Ashley to speak with your teens. She is relevant, passionate, genuine, and fun -- all qualities that today’s teenagers demand in the adults who want to have an influence in their life. Her message, along with her willingness to speak to the specific needs of each audience (as shared by either our staff or the educators at the school) makes her a speaker worthy or her hire! Please feel free to call if you have any questions.” Denice Crawford Prevention Services Director Authentic Answers Abstinence Alliance “We were blessed to have PINC Ministries come to our camp and present a powerful program for over 350 girls. Ashley and her talented staff caught the girls attention with their energy and excitement, and then went straight to the vital, challenging inspirational message of being pure in God’s eyes and finding their identity in Him. Following the program, the girls flocked to meet the girls of PINC and have their pictures taken with them. On our camper comment sheets turned in after camp had ended, many of the girls indicated that the PINC session was the most impactful part of the weekend for them. PINC has a vital ministry and a 1st class presentation. Ashley and the girls of PINC have a great passion to minister to young ladies and I highly recommend their program for any ministry to teen girls.” Mike Noack, Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) “It is with joy and excitement that I recommend Ashley Hicks and PINC Ministries for your school or church. This young woman has developed an energy-charged, candid, and highly persuasive presentation for young woman. Although there are many worthy seminars, I do not personally know of one that so thoroughly takes aim to pierce cultural contamination through truth and humor. In fact, what sets this program apart is that it provides “real truth” for “real problems” facing young people today.” Joan Faubion, PhD Director of Counseling Ministries for Hope for the Heart  To request or book your next PINC event Or Call 1-800-782-2995 and speak with stacy@therobinsonagency.com at the Robinson Agency www.therobinsonagency.com |
