Our Vision
Our vision is to positively affect and impact individual lives in homes, schools and communities, resulting in the ultimate restoration of integrity of the family (the root of society) and affirm their God given dignity, by working positively with people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS through behaviour, right attitude, social and cultural interventions and spiritual nourishment. The major strategic thrust to achieve this vision are through a holistic approach to effective Christian living by majoring on psycho-social needs.
Our Mission
God’s Church, the body of believers empowered with His Love and Compassion will act by becoming “Repairers of Walls” – the walls of our communities – by reaching out to the poor the vulnerable, the marginalized, the orphan, the widow and to those affected and infected by the HIV & AIDS pandemic.
