Church Army Africa takes action to confront the AIDS Pandemic

The Carlile College Center for Urban Mission Holistic Action programme on AIDS in Nairobi, Africa works closely with local Church leadership to take action to confront the AIDS pandemic in Africa.

The Center for Urban mission believes local churches need improved education, skills and resources to engage with the massive challenge of the fight against HIV/AIDS. Working through the status and respect that church leaders have in their local communities, the programme is making a massive difference through a 5 year HIV/AIDS strategic plan and training policy.

CA Africa Center for Urban Mission AIDS newsletter 2006 features case studies from Kiberia and Korogocho where training and action have help begin to turn things around for the people in those areas. The Center for Urban Mission  has found that when churches are mobilized and empowered, they are able to make a positive contribution in the fight against AIDS.

Neil Biles, Church Army Director of Fresh Expressions and Evangelism comments:  "The Center for Urban Mission, Nairobi sets a standard of training that Wilson Carlile, founder of Church Army would be proud off. It reflects his motto of 'Go for the worst' and provides a basis for sharing faith through words and action.  I visited the Centre and was very impressed by the way Evangelists are making a difference right at the cutting edge of poverty in Nairobi.  This has only been possible with the visionary foresight of Dr David Williams, The College Principal."
