World Vision AIDS Experience Tent- Will you be a WORLD CHANGER?


Last Friday, I headed to my church to start setting up for the World Vision AIDS tent Experience. I've spent the last five days volunteering at the tent. It has been an unbelievable experience. Words can't describe how God has used this opportunity to challenge my heart and grow my passion for HIS people in Africa in new ways.

I hope you had the opportunity to experience the AIDS tent for yourself, if you didn't you can visit worldvision.org/experience and go through a virtual tour.


AIDS IS KILLING PEOPLE EVERY DAY, BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT IT IS ALSO DESTROYING NATIONS AND COUNTRIES ONE PERSON AT A TIME.
DAILY PEOPLE ARE DYING AND
MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ARE BECOMING ORPHANS DAILY.

THOUGH AIDS IS MORE THAN JUST A DISEASE
IT AFFECTS THE FUTURE OF COUNTRIES IN AFRICA
WITH WHOLE GENERATIONS DYING, NO ONE IS AROUND TO TEACH THE CHILDREN HOW TO PROVIDE, IE. FARMING, HERDING CATTLE, HYIGENE, ETC.

QUESTION:

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE #1 WAY THAT AIDS IS BEING SPREAD?
66% IS BEING SPREAD FROM MOTHER TO CHILD THROUGH BREASTMILK
SURPRISED?!?! I WAS

Though we can change was is ocurring. We have been given the power to do so, through child sponsoring and the purchase of caregiver kits and bikes to transport care
to those dealing with AIDS.

Christians and others have been partnering with WorldVision to become world changers.

Child Sponsorship
87% goes to the child and their community
13% goes to administrative costs
you can have the opportunity to visit your child

Caregiver Kits
providing the basic needs to a person facing AIDS

So are you going to be a world changer? I know I'm going to spend my life striving to be.
