transport. If you are interested in being a part of a "care
project" email HIV@sasddleback.com. There are opportunities
to get started this week.

Join our team that prays for our ministry and the
needs of ministry members - you can even pray over the phone!

this is the opportunity for you. We also are looking for people from our ministry
to represent the HIV&AIDS Initiative by attending local government events
regularly.
