CARE for AIDS U.S. Blog: ENGAGE

Dear friends, family, and supporters of CARE for AIDS,

Welcome to the CARE for AIDS U.S. blog. I’m excited about this new opportunity to communicate with all of you through blogging. I am sorry to say that unlike Nick Gordon's blog (which you should all read at nickgordonCFA.blogspot.com,) I eat relatively normal food, my car doesn’t break down nearly as often, and I rarely see giraffes parading down Peachtree Street. However, we are both seeing lives changed, and that is the story I want to tell. I hope this blog will be a place where you can come to hear from me and my peers about how God is working in and through the American church to transform the lives of those suffering from HIV/AIDS in Kenya.


When this story began three years ago, we were presented with the harsh reality that the AIDS crisis in Africa wasn’t convenient, it wasn’t easy, and it definitely wasn't going to be solved overnight. However, these obstacles that might have appeared daunting to a few college students seemed insignificant in comparison to the eternities that hung in the balance. There was too much at stake; inaction was not an option. Today, I’m glad that we engaged and pursued that vision to this end. I’m thankful that I get to spend my days helping engage the American church in what I believe is not only the greatest humanitarian crisis of our day, but an incredible platform to tell others about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My prayer is that all of you reading this will commit to join me. Join me on the front lines of this battle for the souls of men and women suffering from this disease. Stay tuned for more ways to get plugged in with CARE for AIDS here and abroad.

First thing you can do... please subscribe to this blog and invite your friends to do the same.
