Why are we following Christ today? Hopefully we can answer because we love Him. Trials test the purity of our resolve. Perhaps today we will confront something that will cause us to question God’s goodness. Remember, we serve Him because we love Him, not because He makes everything run smoothly for us. Let us serve Him today because we love Him, not for what we can get from Him. He is so good!
Productivity is important in the plan of Christ as He goes about building His church in fulfillment of His sovereign declaration in Matthew 16. Our Lord is not slack in doing His work around the world. We will never know the full extent of the church building work of Christ until we reach heaven’s shore. When we do see the results, we will be amazed. Right now, Christ is rapidly building His church in China, Africa and parts of Asia. Christ is no loser. He is the sovereign church builder who is doing a fantastic job. We as His people have the privilege of partnering with Him in this work. He freely invites us to “follow Him” as He moves through time and space.

5 reasons why Ambassadors needs to be engaged in rescuing the children:
Reach - Faith-based organizations (FBO’s) have a very broad presence. FBO’s operate between 40-50% of all the health care and educational facilities on the continent of Africa. The World Bank estimates they have the capacity to reach 95% of the poor, when facilitated to do so.
Call - As a part of practicing their faith, most people in religious communities are called to serve and care for their neighbors or other people in need. This mandate of faith is an important and sustaining motivation factor in the prevention and care for those living with HIV/AIDS.
Sustainability - Long after government programs have finished or non-government organizations (NGO’s) have left the arena, faith institutions remain and are a permanent part of the foundation of local communities and societies at large.
Moral Voice - Because HIV is primarily contracted through sex, addressing sexual behaviors is one of the most important parts of prevention. Faith institutions speak to the deepest human values and beliefs, and are thus best positioned to speak with authority to the intimate practices of individuals and communities.
Hope - Faith-based organizations address issues of the spirit, which is at the core of nurturing and restoring hope for those living with HIV/AIDS, and those who have been orphaned by it. In AIMI’s experience in the field, those who have hope are the best advocates for prevention.
