    sick with diarrhoea, TB, pains and fever.
  • Paying for treatment has ruined the family.

    sickness in April 2000

playing their part

    brother must work to survive

    finally runs out of livestock to sell for
    medicine and school fees

- Vincent
  • I always thought I would live a happy life with
    my beautiful wife, working hard on my land for my
    childrens future.
  • I dreamed we would own cattle and I would have a
    pleasant home.
  • But the story has come out differently because
    of this sickness.

Colossians 3
  • 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly
    things.. 5Put to death, therefore, whatever
    belongs to your earthly nature sexual
    immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and
    greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the
    wrath of God is coming.

HIV/AIDS?

With the result that HIV infected and affected

  • Afraid to be judged or rejected
  • Do not hear Gods heartbeat for HIV people
  • Do not see the churchs involvement in terms of
    HIV/AIDS
  • Suffer without support
