| Pastors Vision Trips or C2C, is a World Vision program that connects the U.S. church to African children, communities, and churches on the front lines of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Africa. By providing an opportunity for busy church leaders to visit the field and see the impact of HIV and AIDS firsthand, we believe that God can use us, in partnership with our African brothers and sisters, to turn the tide on this terrible disease. Pastors Vision Trips are scheduled through 2009 with specific dates noted on the right sidebar. Each trip will accommodate up to 30 participants. Interested congregations can send one or two leaders, one of whom must be the senior pastor. Our trip will focus on learning rather than serving. Given the cultural, historical, and religious complexities of Africa, this approach will help us lay a strong relational foundation with our African colleagues while preparing us to discern God’s direction for future involvement. Together we can all help turn the tide on HIV/AIDS in the developing world. |
