Wow!!
On behalf of AIDS widows, AIDS orphans, and men and women living with HIV/AIDS, I say thank you in the name of Jesus. You have touched hearts, pointed lives to Jesus, changed lives, helped families, met with dignitaries, given hope to the hopeless, served in two church services, laughed a lot, cried some, and loved with God’s kind of love. You worked hard under difficult and sometimes challenging situations. And you did it with His joy in your hearts. This could not have been done without YOU! And a special thanks to Wayne and Pat. It’s good to be used of the Lord. And from my heart I say may God bless you all for it,
