"The African HIV/AIDS pandemic became understandable and approachable. With first-hand knowledge, my respect for World Vision's strategy grew immensely. I now know practical, high- impact actions my congregation can take to express Christ's love into a horrible situation."
—Rev. Scott Farmer, Community Presbyterian Church in Danville, CA
"I have had my focus on other ministry and mission priorities, but realized I can no longer keep my head in the sand on the pandemic in Africa. As a lead pastor, I have a stewardship responsibility to leverage resources and influence to bring hope (both socially and spiritually) to the people of Africa. I am so thankful World Vision is a trustworthy organization to be that vehicle for us to work alongside."
—Rev. Bob Reed, Fellowship Church, Austin, TX
"My World Vision Pastors Vision Trip was life transforming! The churches and community of Elk River are committed to a long-term partnership to help improve agriculture, nutrition, education and health care, especially related to the devastating effects of HIV/AIDS. Come to Africa and see for yourself. You will be changed and God will use you to help change the world."
—Rev. Greg Pagh, Christ Lutheran Church, Elk River, MN
"The program was excellent. I came believing that I knew enough about HIV/AIDS, but soon learned more than I ever thought possible. Thank you, World Vision, for being God's instrument to take us to the next level of involvement."
—Rev. Bob Barnett, Woodstock Bible Church in Woodstock, IL
"Prior to my trip, I lived in a world of luxury and did not want to be bothered with the HIV/AIDS pandemic or the severe poverty in Africa. Through God's prompting and an invitation by our pastor, my life and my priorities are changed forever. I have now seen it, can no longer ignore it, and know that I am being called by God to use my managerial, organizational, and sphere of influence to help in some way now and into the future."
—Keith Topliffe, Canyon Hills Church, San Diego, CA |
