 âItâs difficult to get the church engaged on HIV and AIDS across the 
board.
 Every dollar received, I think, represents a conversion experience.â 
â The
     Rev. Donald Messer, chairperson of the Global AIDS Fund 
Committee.

Global AIDS Fund provides help, comfort

   NEW YORK (UMNS) â An AIDS orphan in Kenya, Purity at 14 had become 
the
   caregiver for a younger brother and sister and a mentally disabled 
older
   brother. They had a piece of family land, but no food. Purity 
became
   involved in a United Methodist-supported project that linked her 
with a
   group of 12 families in her community. A Zoe Ministry project 
helped her to
   plant grass â feed for the family cow â and cultivate greens to 
sell for
   profit. Zoe Ministry is one of the grant recipients of the United 
Methodist
   Global AIDS Fund.
