If Jesus lived in Orange County today, he’d be caring for the sick – just like 2,000 years ago. AIDS is our opportunity to serve the hurting like Jesus did, to show God’s love to skeptics, and to share the Good News here and around the world.
What is AIDS really? How can you prevent it? How do you teach your kids about it? What do you say to a friend who has AIDS? How can you help your friend and his or her family? These, and all your other questions, will be answered at this Summit. The sessions will be practical, easy to understand, inspiring, and encouraging.
