When I decided to attend a Sunday meeting at the Presbyterian Mission to learn about their teaching, I was searching for spiritual answers to fill the emptiness caused by my 11-year struggle with HIV/AIDS.I was received warmly and supported. The pastor guided me in wisdom and the group was small in number but big in love. My relationship with God began to grow.My name is Yanina, a mother and wife living in Maracay, Venezuela.  

Children, our greatest treasure, are often the most neglected. In 2008, more than 14,000 children in Thailand became infected with HIV/AIDS. TheChurch of Christ in Thailand provides social and spiritual welfare for as many as can be reached. Let us join in prayer for these Partners in Ministries.   

Partnering with Protestant Christian Churches in Indonesia, Sunday Clinic days give free medical treatment to those in need. Monthly, a medical team visits villages serving Christians and non-Christians-financed by offerings of worshipers.Our gifts also help. God's love flows through the loving hearts of those givers.(Reported by Nico A. Likumahawa, Satya Wacana Christian University)  

PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN host a Global Exchange every three years to build relationships and share ministries with sisters in faith in other places.The following year, a group of women from the same part of the world are invited to attend the church-wide gathering of Presbyterian Women (the largest andmost well attended national meeting in the church) to share their stories with their North American sisters.  

Between 2002 and 2005, PW offered training to 75 members of Presbyterian Women to become antiracism facilitators. Those seeds have been planted and are multiplying.These facilitators are part of a growing number of men and women across the church who feel called to and are offering training at congregational, presbytery, synod, and national levels of the PC(USA).
