Carol Danner, New Light Christian Church, Seattle:
"This is something that was needed. As Princess Kasune Zulu said, knowledge is power. And more is needed. There is a stigma attached to it. People don’t know the real truth about HIV and AIDS. It’s vital for survival. We’re definitely interested in taking back information to our church."






Jim Erno-Pearce, Missions Director, Wabash Presbyterian Church, Auburn:
“I’m very pleased with what we heard today. I’m saddened by the fact that the Church has taken so long to get on board, but I’m excited about the potential. I think it’s extremely important that we understand the gravity and statistics, and I appreciated them bringing us that information. This kind of event gives us something we can communicate to our congregations because the statistics are so astonishing.”






Deneen Blake, Global Outreach Elder, First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue:
“The numbers are overwhelming. The biggest thing is putting a face with the numbers. Today put a face to them. Each child has a name, hope, and dreams. We can look at that instead of thinking of the massive numbers.”






Pastor Randy Leskovar, Calvary Chapel West Seattle:
"I found today very helpful. It was informative and hopeful. The 'big A, big B, little c' model is a good approach. I will pray about how our congregation will get involved. It’s definitely an important issue, and I’m glad World Vision is taking a leadership role, especially with abstinence and being faithful. Now, hopefully, people are ready to listen."
