Home Based Care Meetings

It’s so exciting when women come together with a heart to learn and share experiences. I’m always amazed at the care and concern the community has for each other. The ladies make time to visit friends and family that are sick.

At our first HBC meeting 15 women were able to attend. The number has leapt to 40 with still others showing a keen interest in getting involved. God is definitely at work in the hearts and lives of these precious women.

Our discussions surrounded the following:1) How does God fit into this area of HIV/AIDS and can he REALLY heal AIDS? Scripture tells us that sickness is not from God, He is our healer, by His stripes we are made whole – to quote a few. We live in a fallen world but God is compassionate – faithful and just to forgive us of our sin, but there are consequences for our sin.
2) We discussed the stages of HIV/AIDS.
3) Everyone has a story to tell and we told card stories which were an absolute ‘hit’. The HBC ladies laughed so much. It was wonderful. They didn’t realize we could have so much fun at a training session.

Prayer Pointers:a) Favour and approval as we are in the process of registering, building relationship and getting to be known by the District Aids Council (DAC) and Matabeleland Aids Council MAC)
b) Unity and continued at our next meeting on 17th June 2009.
