My name is Duane Crumb and I spent my first week in Zambia facilitating a seminar in Kitwe to empower local people to be effective HIV educators. While normally we try to limit attendance to 20, they cut off registration at 35 from six different local churches. What a blessing it was to see God open the hearts and minds of the participants each day during the week. Each day they became more comfortable and confident talking about all of the issues related to HIV.
Today, the final day, each participant presented a project they had created during the week of a tool they can use to teach people about HIV. The presentations ranged from beautiful original songs they wrote to wonderful dramas, to posters, slogans, poems, and other very creative ideas. They are VERY excited about all their new-found abilities to motivate people in their culture to make the life-choices that will keep them free of infection and overcome stigma and discrimination.

Please pray that they will find many opportunities to share the insights God has given them. We will also appreciate your prayers for all of the people who will be participating in a new seminar we will begin on Monday morning here in Mufulira.
