Michael Christmas and Chris Westbrook have arrived in Kampala and stayed with Susan at the home in Uganda's capital city for 2 days. Susan said that the orphans and kids from the area surrounded them enjoying their company. Today they will be traveling through Gulu for an overnight stay, and then on to Amazing Grace!

Kay Warren was interviewed by CNN and this is what she had so say about AIDS:
"Christians are just as guilty as non-Christians of wanting to look the other way when it comes to the problems confronting our world, the topics that make us uncomfortable. But we need to be seriously disturbed about homelessness, child prostitution, rape, poverty, injustice, and HIV/AIDS.

Twenty-five years into the AIDS pandemic, being HIV-positive still carries stigma and shame. But God cares for the sick and so must we.

It's not a sin to be sick. The Bible tells us Jesus was repeatedly "filled with compassion" as he encountered broken bodies and broken minds. While polite society vigorously avoided contact with those they considered diseased outcasts, Jesus responded in a radical way: He cared, he touched, he healed."


And Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki announces free AIDS drugs in the country! This is great news for the 1.2 million Kenya's with the virus.
