Dear God ... Why are so many people dying with AIDS?
Oh Sidney, your prayer is being heard by thousands — and will help break down the wall of silence for so many who are dying from AIDS. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. AIDS has created millions of orphans in Africa, Asia and Latin America — leaving children homeless, stigmatized and shunned. It's an ugly disease and our response has not been so pretty, either. We must change that. The first step is learning more about this terrible disease. Dale Hanson Bourke has written a great resource titled The Skeptics Guide to the Global AIDS Crisis — you can find it at compassion.com. The next step is to speak up in your church, your neighborhood, your local government. This is Wess Stafford. Get informed. Then Speak Up With Compassion for children — all the children!
