AIDS Preventie Programma/AIDS Awareness Program, CECA 20

Next week a whole team will leave for four days to Todro to facilitate a workshop about 'Our Journey' and 'Channels of Hope'. Pray for preparations and for safety on the road. We (5) will go by motorbike.

The training supposed to have taken place in September is almost finished. From 8am till 11 am we have presented the book 'Our Journey' in Adi to 20 new teachers who will work as chaplains in their respectives schools.

While I am in The Netherlands, Ayila and the team of 'Notre Voyage' are preparing a one-day workshop for school chaplains on Monday, September 2!!!

A busy week has passed.
Especially Saturday and Monday through Wednesday were full.
Saturday we organized a training of 'Our Journey' for prefects and chaplains of non-CECA secondary schools.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we were at ADI Bibleschool to teach about 'Channels of Hope'! All went well. Tuesday evening we showed the testimony of # who lives with HIV.
But we also received the news that early on Tuesday morning CECA 20 Church President Reverend Agupio Amanio Goli passed away.

Today we organized the workshop 'Notre Voyage' for the two church sections that missed it two weeks ago. Both were represented! Very thankful for that. We followed the same program and everything went well. Also here the participants stretched the importance of the book, not only for the students in secondary school, but also for parents, teachers and to be taught in church services.

Here Ayila is weighing a little baby boy, Miracle, who was born April 13 in Durba. About a week later his mother, who was HIV positive and under treatment in Adi, died of postpartum hemorrhage. Miracle is being cared for by his grandparents who live in Ingbokolo. He has had lots of problems already due to milk and porridge unfit for such a small baby. He weighed only 3.800 grammes. Bethsaida, our orphan project, bought baby milk for him. Pray with us that this may help him grow stronger again.
