Praise the Lord that
the HIV Vulnerable Groups are now running well in 9 camp areas. This last month we were excited to have over 500 people living with HIV/AIDS registered with us. Each month we conduct a meeting with HIV education, a word of encouragement from God's Word and medicine distribution. We are currently distributing Cotrimoxazole (an antibiotic helpful in fighting off secondary infections), Albendazole (a de-worming medication), Multivitamins and Folic Acid for women. I have loved getting to know many of these people suffering with this deadly disease and each month they bring hope and encourage to my heart even in the midst of their pain. It is amazing how that works! Many more who are questioning if they are positive are now encouraged to get tested as they see some help and hope being given. In the area we are working, there are no other groups serving those people living with HIV/AIDS so the people really are desperate for help. They have so many needs but are so grateful for each little thing we can assist them with. Through the education I see them becoming more empowered and knowledgable about thier illness, which is so hopeful. We want to aide them physically, mentally and spiritually. Please keep praying that God will bind these people together so they can truly be the body of Christ even in the midst of intense suffering. Please also pray that God will continue to open up more avenues for awareness, testing and crucial medicine. I continue to rest in El-Shaddai- Our God who is sufficient to meet all His peoples' needs. Thanks for your prayers and support. God is moving!!!
