  • Educate every American about AIDS facts;
  • Encourage and support HIV Testing;
  • Advocate for the availability of compassionate care and treatment for all those living with the disease in every community in America and
  • Love, unconditionally, every person living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

We, members of faith communities, are a diverse group of believers.  Often, we struggle through our differences and far too many times, we retreat and live behind walls that divide us from our fellow believers.

Prayer is the mystical truth of Divine Love that is common to all believers.  Right now in this moment, I invite all believers to step forward beyond the walls that divide us into the circle of conscious prayer for the healing of AIDS.  Let us not allow the issues that divide us to prevent us from entering into a circle of prayer and education with all of our brothers and sisters. Let us seek divine guidance for our own individual and congregational paths toward AIDS awareness, advocacy and service. 

I am a descendant of a long lineage of believers who taught their children, and their children's children, that Prayer Changes Things! I believe in the Power of Prayer! I believe in the Power of Education and Service! Together they will heal our land.

Please join us and participate in the National Week of Prayer for the Healing of AIDS!
