World Aid's Day

There is no medical cure for HIV/AIDS. There is hope for those affected. This pandemic not only devastates human lives, it leaves broken hearts in despair and without hope. On this World AIDS Day, I call on churches and Christians around the world to pray for those suffering from this terrible disease and to ask God for His intervening, healing hand. My personal prayer is that each individual affected by HIV/AIDS will sense God’s love and come to know—in a personal way—the Creator and Savior of their souls, Jesus Christ.

Praying for Regions of the World

Pray for Africa—the continent that has suffered the most from the effects of HIV/AIDS. Pray that wars will cease and economic instability will be solved in African countries so that the spread of HIV/AIDS will lessen and people will have access to decent nutrition and medical care.

Pray for Asia, where Franklin Graham will be visiting November 29-December 2, 2007 for the Hong Kong Franklin Graham Festival. AIDS is a relatively new struggle for Asian countries, but it is a real threat. Pray that God will bless Asia, bringing citizens to salvation, unity, and understanding.

Pray for Europe, the Caribbean, North America, and Latin America, as well as other areas of the world where people endure the consequences of the AIDS crisis.
