“AIDS is not just another problem on the world’s to-do list. This crisis calls for the church of Jesus Christ to rise to the occasion. The question hangs in the air, ‘What are we going to do about it?’ This could be the Church’s finest hour. Whether it is or not is up to us.”

Richard Stearns, President of World Vision
