Without education, HIV/AIDS will continue to spread. For too long, HIV/AIDS have been confined to the realms of clinics and hospitals but the epidemic does not respect these sectored boundaries.
We need a more holistic approach which will involve all everyone as healing community.
A true healing community is not a closed one.
It cuts across social class, status and power structures.
The members of a true healing community must move out to identify with people who are on its fringes, inviting the marginalized and oppressed in, enabling them to join their communities with restored relationships.
Often people working in the field of HIV/AIDS get discouraged, especially when they see the brokenness of life all around;
the work is big, the task ahead far greater than anyone can imagine, the results so seemingly few and with different strands of the virus emerging every day.
Working in this field takes up a lot of physical and emotional energy. We might want to give up sometime.
HEALING THAT EMPOWERS
God’s power proclaimed by Jesus Christ is the rejection of powers of this world and the manifestation of His Grace and love in powerlessness.
God’s healing action in Christ empowers the powerless, it liberates, humanizes and transforms lives.
We can empower by
Healing experiences whether it is our own or that of someone close to us and
Allowing our healing to embrace those closest to us
