In 2007 over 1.6 million adults and children died in Sub-Sahara Africa because of aids. At the present 22.5 million children and adults are living with the HIV virus. Because of lack of health care, the limited access to drug treatments, and the continued increase in the spread of HIV, thousands die a very painful and horrible death each year. Often the only care they receive is at home.
Kentucky Baptists have been asked by Baptist Global Response to provide home care kits to be used by our IMB missionaries to minister to caregivers and disease victims in three areas that have been ravaged by this horrible disease. The home care kits will be used in ministry in the Baptist Fellowship of Zambia’s palliative care ministry, in the home care ministry of Sanyati Baptist Hospital in Central Zimbabwe, and to a ministry in South Africa in the district with the highest per capita rate of HIV positive victims in the world. These home care kits will bring help and the hope of Christ to some of the world’s most hopeless.
The Kentucky WMU and Baptist Men on Mission are working together to meet this tremendous need among the “least of these" in these three nations in southern Africa. We have arranged collection sites across Kentucky and delivery to our International Mission Board in Virginia. We invite you to join us in giving hope to the hopeless.
