Second-year Bible College student teaching AIDS education UNAIDS reports that 2.7 million people were newly infected with HIV in 2008.  Sub-Saharan Africa remains the epicentre of the pandemic, home to two thirds of all people living with the virus.

 

Moffat students are equipped with accurate knowledge about HIV and AIDS, as well as scriptural principles that build life skills and enable people to avoid infection or manage it positively.  In addition to completing practical teaching assignments, these students share their new-found knowledge through interactive presentations at youth camps, church conferences, secondary schools, prisons, pastors’ trainings, initiation camps, and alumni continuing education seminars.  In 2009, Moffat students reached over 13,000 people with a message of HIV and AIDS and with the Gospel. 

Moffat graduate, Isaac Mutua, who co-leads the Moffat AIDS Education Program shares, “We have the opportunity – we have the freedom to share Christ.”  Teaching the ABC’s of prevention: Abstain, Be Faithful and rely on Christ, the program combines facts about HIV and AIDS with important life skills that help participants to choose a life that’s safe, enjoyable and God-honouring.

In addition to education about AIDS, the program supports 25 orphans in secondary and post secondary training, decreasing their risk of exposure to HIV and empowering them to overcome poverty. 

Donations for the Moffat AIDS Program are used to pay for two coordinators, training materials, transportation, and orphan support.
