DAY 2: AIDS...a voice for the voiceless

I'm sorry that I broke my promise to all of you...I told you I would take you on a journey with me through the Voice for the Voiceless 30 days of prayer...as you all know my dear grandpa passed away and family ties were more important for that time. Now we are settled back in and the internet seems to be alive today so this is a new start with Day 2.

AIDS is a serious, fatal disease of the immune system contracted through blood transfusions, sexual contact or contaminated neddles. There is no known cure for it.

* AIDS has killed more than 25 million people since 1981-more than four Jewish holocausts or 22 Rwandan genocides.
*In 2005, every minute there were 10 newly infected people worldwide.
*Africa has 12 million AIDS orphans.
*43% of those infected with HIV are women.
*There are 40.3 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, a 1/3 are between the ages of 15-24.

Please pray : Micha 7:18b
*That God would intervene against this epidemic
*That He would raise up medical researchers and doctors to discover solutions to HIV
*That God would release Bible teachers to confront the causes of AIDS to see personal and social transformation.

~ All information was taken directly from Paul and Susi's book 30 Days of Prayer for the Voicless... This booklet can be ordered from their site. Each day contains internet resources and books which support the facts for the day and a personal impact story from someone suffering from the issue. Their website is located on our links colum to the right of this post. The link is titled "Voice for the Voiceless". Thank you for praying!
With all my love ~ Jen
