COMMENTS RECEIVED FROM PARTICIPANTS OF
VARIOUS AAIM PROGRAMS
“This Seminar was long overdue... Networking
was a plus component in the whole Seminar” (Participant from
Kenya)
“The sewing workshops changed my
sadness into joyful dance, and taken my loneliness away…We see
that AAIM follows the word of God… as it is said that we must
also act upon the Word. I give thanks to the Lord what He has
done to us, the Basotho in Lesotho… The workshop also changed me
from fear to go for blood test, as my husband died, killed by
AIDS” (Nelly from Lesotho)
“I found this a very good
training session. I am impressed that the focus is on the
spiritual aspect of HIV/AIDS and how the participants can impact
on the community…” (from a Church Lay Member)
“This was a seminar with a
difference compared with all other HIV/AIDS (seminars) that I’ve
had an opportunity to attend, and impartially rate this as top
most very first class. The method of presentation is impressive
and quite natural…The spontaneous testimonies…bring out the
reality of the situation. It is not mechanical as the routinely
and methodologically followed seminars…” (from Owendi
Elizabeth)
“You are an inspiration to us and
you demonstrate how much of God’s work can be accomplished when
God’s children are obedient to His calling.” (from Joan)
“Throughout the seminar I have
been enlighten on how to go working for work in the whole
community and the church… And from here, as I go back to my
church, through God’s power I am going to give light to the
church members…and give the information I have received, and I
believe through God’s Spirit I am going to change the attitude
of people who are in our church from negative to positive; I
will request them to rise and work for those infected and
support them materially, socially and spiritually.” (from Mary
Kemunto Ongetta)
“No doubt, this has been a great
experience. The seminar has been conducted in a very
understandable and heart-touching method: The Jesus’ Method.”
(from Dan Mburu)
“I thank my Heavenly Father for
this golden opportunity He has given me to be in Sewing Workshop
and TOT Seminar… We promise that through God’s grace and prayer
we are going to put our words in action and the little light
that we have got from you, we will let it shine to all our
churches in our district and we will all be in fire.” (from
Ruth)
“It’s been a seminar of great
help on my emotional, spiritual, social and physical life. I’ve
been made to understand the virtues of “Love and Compassion”. As
a result, I promise to uphold these virtues verbally and in
action…” (from Fred Ayub)
“You’ve given me confidence about
HIV/AIDS of how to make a change within our homes, churches,
schools, hospitals…. My home is empty due to HIV/AIDS…” (from
Pennina C. Newlife Church)
Your four days here in Kenya will
go a long way to bring life, courage and hope for many lives
both in the church and outside. You have vividly brought home
the knowledge of HIV/AIDS, so clearly that the participants
promised to the same to our churches and beyond, so that love
and compassion may be in the heart of every Christian.” (from
Ogada)
