Redeemed from the Stigma of AIDS

In southern Asia, the dreaded AIDS disease deals a double blow to those associated with it. Not only does it kill, but across the Indian subcontinent it also carries a horrible stigma of shame. Those who are HIV-positive or their close relatives are often ostracized by family and society.

But there is good news! I encourage you to read this week's story of how one Gospel for Asia native missionary in Goa, India, reached out to Shaina, a woman shunned because her son had died of AIDS. Click the following link:

When Jesus walked on this earth, He did not avoid the outcasts, the poor or the sick. And today, GFA missionaries are following His example.

I pray that as you read this story, you are encouraged to know that the sick, oppressed and ostracized of Asia are finding acceptance and redemption through Jesus.

Thank you for your prayers, gifts and love on behalf of these for whom Christ gave His life.

Yours for the unreached,
