Thanks for your help in making the first CMF-FAME AIDS Conference a great success!

More than 180 people were a part of the "Your Church and AIDS Conference" on April 19, 2008. We appreciate all who spent a Saturday learning how God can use the Church to help the suffering and dying in our hometowns and around the world.



HIV/AIDS is the largest humanitarian crisis in global history. In some African countries, the infection rate approaches 40% of the population. An estimated one million people in the United States are currently living with HIV, with approximately 40,000 new infections occurring each year. Sadly, the United Nations estimates that there are currently 14 million AIDS orphans; by 2010, there will be 25 million.

Special thanks to main session speakers Heather Larson, Tom Moen, and Ajai Lall; and workshop leaders Dr. Pat Railey, Dr. Martha Yoder, Judy Fish, Doug Priest, and Dr. Suzie Snyder.

The task seems overwhelming, but as one conference attendee put it, "This conference helped me see that one person really can make a difference."

Thanks for taking that first step toward making a difference!
