the village of hope seeks to help children infected or affected by hiv, aids and tb in two different ways: we have a 9 bed children's unit to support those infected by hiv and aids and we also run a community-based sports and lifeskills outreach in the informal settlements and squatter camps each afternoon.

this blog has been set up to allow the key members of the team at the village of hope to share their thoughts, photos and experiences as we work in the community of grabouw in south africa

jesus was (is) HIV+

ok i know that i am only adding fuel to the fire but i have to agree with the most read post on the south african news24 website....that a pastor in cape town has been criticised for saying that 'jesus was hiv positive', well from my point of view Jesus was not only hiv+ but STILL is...have a read of the report and i would love to hear any of your thoughts!

    Good on him for facing the HIV/Aids issue head on. Talk about raising awareness! Even if people don't agree with him, that kind of statement is sure to make them think! :)
    I completely agree with what he's saying, and could even take it one step further by suggesting that when Jesus took our sin and pain on the cross he experienced the full meaning and weight of it, including HIV!
