NEW YORK -- The world's leading Christian HIV/AIDS experts will meet May 17-18 in New York to discuss how American Christians can help alleviate the disease that's sweeping across Africa and into Asia.
The World Vision Forum 2002 will feature presentations from physicians, clergy, program specialists and others, according to an agency press release. The non-profit mission agency is challenging Christians in the United States to take a leadership role in educating other countries about AIDS, World Vision president Richard Stearns said.
"With 40 million people struggling with HIV/AIDS around the world and the situation growing worse in many emerging countries, it's time the world Christian community rose to the challenge," Stearns said.
