Rather than promote the use of condoms, they stress the need to live a life transformed by a commitment to Jesus, obedience to Biblical principles that lead to a life of spiritual and physical purity. Similar programs are provided for churches. Currently this ministry is providing care to about 150 AIDS patients plus about 200 children. Blessings is planning to help provide medicines for this ministry. As mentioned above, I was shocked when I heard that African churches have as much difficulty in addressing the AIDS problem as churches here.
Nobody wants to take responsibility or ownership for the problem.
Sure the church didn t cause the problem. But this attitude blunts the expression of compassion. Taking ownership and responsibility for addressing the AIDS problem by churches I believe will come with confession of our need for continual purification of any thought that does not glorify God. Realizing that we have all fallen short and need God s grace daily, we will become gracious and compassionate towards AIDS patients and their family members in the same way Jesus is compassionate to us every day. Prayer Request I ask for your prayers as Blessings begins its effort to assist AIDS patients and their families through existing Christian ministries in Africa.
