Moffat College of Bible in Kenya, a pastoral training college for the Africa Inland Church (AIC) has been training its students to deal with the AIDS pandemic in their communities since 1998. Thanks to programs like this one, Kenya's HIV/AIDS rate is improving. Says the UN: "there is increasing evidence that a proportion of the declines is due to a reduction of the number of new infections which is in part due to a reduction in risky behaviours."¹

One of Moffat’s courses trains students to teach the seven-week “Adventures Unlimited” course to primary school students. As part of the curriculum, they volunteer with Moffat graduate Isaac Mutua, who co-leads the Kijabe AIDS Education Program.

“We have the opportunity— we have the freedom to share Christ,” says Mutua. He explains the ‘ABC’approach to AIDS prevention:  Abstain, Be Faithful and rely on Christ. The Program teaches facts about HIV/AIDS and important life skills that will help them choose a life that’s safe, enjoyable and God-honouring. 

Donations for the Moffat AIDS program are used pay for AIDS education materials, office space and transportation.
