There are numerous issues that we face in this world on a daily basis. Local churches have traditionally focused their efforts on helping their “local neighbor”. As the world continues to shrink through technological advances, the churches’ definition of neighbor continues to change.
HIV/AIDS is a Global Pandemic.
The effects HIV/AIDS are numerous and wide spread. Some of the issues that have a clear connection with HIV/AIDS are ongoing medical issues, social injustices, poverty, starvation, access to clean water and education.
Systemic Issues
Throwing money at these types of problems have proven unsuccessful throughout history. Traditional means of giving money have led to dependancy and instilled a lack of dignity in those suffering. True help is creating an environment where people are empowered, know they are loved by God, and can break the cycle.
Partnering vs. Giving
CFC has chosen to partner rather than to just write checks. Partnering consists primarily of two things. One, to work with indigenous partners who have a track record of success with some assistance and will continue advancing with or without our help. Secondly, to listen to the needs and priorities that are laid out by our partners rather than forcing them to do what we think needs to be done.
