Most of us have grown up with the reality of HIV/AIDS being present all around us.
25 years have now passed since the first cases of HIV/AIDS were discovered in India. A generation of people have been born since them. Sadly many of these young people are themselves living with HIV today.
By God’s grace we do not have a situation like many of our brothers and sisters in Sub-Saharan Africa. But that should not allow us to relax.
HIV/AIDS is still a dreaded reality for many. Ultimately, we believe that God’s people – who are called to love each other in the name of Jesus Christ – are those who must move forward to care for people with HIV.
There are still too many people in our city who have been rejected because of their HIV status. There are still people dying for lack of care, dying because they are too afraid to seek help. There are still so many churches that have not opened their doors with love to reach out and touch and honour and bless people with HIV – like Jesus does!
CORINTH has been working over these years – each organisation moving forward in their own unique ways – and all of us together at various levels.
The job is not over yet! Lets keep going forward!
