Stand up and be counted. We challenge all young people to do something constructive on December 1st about the scourge of HIV/AIDS that has plagued us for so long. Here are some ideas:
* Wear the red ribbon as a sign of your identification and support for those infected and affected by the virus.
* Take a 15 minute break from work (or play) on the 1st December at 12:00 noon to pray for those infected and affected and mention them by name if you know them.
* Take time to reach out to someone infected with the disease. Share and pray with them and encourage them with the love of Jesus.
* Form or join an AIDS support team and offer your services to care for those affected by the disease.
* Form discussion groups on what we can do to PREVENT any further infections from taking place. This scourge must be stopped and we must do what is necessary to bring it to a halt. Start promoting sex only within marriage (the Biblical way) or practice abstinence.
* Visit web sites like www.anglicanaids.org.za, www.anglicanaids.net, www.beatit.co.za, etc. and find out more about the disease and how you can get involved in an existing ministry or organisation.
* Examine your own lifestyle and where necessary, bring your own life under the total submission of the Lordship of Christ - so that He can use you fully to His glory.
Whatever it takes, DO SOMETHING !
