We thank you for choosing to help. We will realize that it’s the duty
of the church to reveal the father’s heart to the orphans and widows
(James 1:27). Therefore the church holds the solution to defeating
this deadly disease.
Children suffer because of AIDS even when they don't have the disease
themselves. When a parent dies, a child's world collapses. Depression,
anxiety and hopelessness are common as a child tries to adjust to life
without his or her parents. And if dealing with misery isn't difficult
enough, children are sometimes shunned by the community because they
are feared.
At a time when they need emotional support, people often turn away.
If two of you shall agree touching something on earth and pray to the
father, it will be done (Mathew 18:19) we have assurance when we come
up to the Father in Christ's Name that we receive what we ask for.
Choose to join us in prayers:
That the church would take action with the compassion of Jesus Christ
to all those who are affected and infected by the HIV/AIDS crisis. We
are His re-preventatives here on earth so we can do what He would have
done so it’s not by our authority but He that we represent.
That God touches many Volunteers around the world so that they can
give their hearts and their lives to care for people affected and or
infected by HIV/AIDS, Orphans left behind as a result & Vulnerable
Children.
Your gifts will support programs that provide care to people with AIDS
and their families, including home-based care and hospice programs. A
gift of $30 or more per month can supply the resources, including
medication, Education, food, hygiene items, to care for one orphan.
Currently Uganda has 100,000 people on ARVs but only 10,000 are
children. The number of children infected globally continues to grow
each year, in 2003 there where 500,000 new infections. Currently there
are 2.3 million children living with HIV/AIDS globally.
The medical needs facing mission hospitals and other medical
facilities are enormous.
Your gifts will assist programs that provide medical care, including
medications and counseling to prevent mother-to-child transmission,
for those infected with HIV. A gift of $20 or more can supply
medication and post-natal counseling to prevent one HIV-infected
mother from passing the virus on to her child.
Working with vulnerable children is a concerted effort. It needs a lot
of hands to be put together, and a lot of ideas.
The orphan problem does not only belong to people with orphans. It is
everybody’s problem.
Throughout Africa, thousands of community-based organizations like
Ourkids-Uganda are addressing the needs of children and families made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS.
These organizations are strengthening the customary wellbeing of the
Extended family through a range of vital services. Often operating
with minimal funding and with a great deal of volunteer support,
community-based groups are the frontline response to the needs of
children affected by AIDS.
