NE Statewide Reconciling Network: Stigma of HIV AIDS: Don Messer's Witness, Daily Messenger, June 4

See the Daily Messenger links BELOW from the last day of Annual Conference with a story about Don Messer's moving speech on Tues night, May 31 on the STIGMA of HIV AIDS! A spontaneous offering that night yielded $900 with an additional offering Friday -- and all totalling $4000 for Ministries directly through UM Global AIDS Fund around the globe and NE !

Let's double these June offerings in 2011 to $8000 by years end or better yet $10,000 with fundraisers all year and offerings Dec 4 weekend! Our initial challenge from General Conference in 2004 was $1 per member a year - that would be $78,000 a year in NE!

Thanks Don for coming to NE to ENLIGHTEN US and thanks for initiating the UM Global AIDS Fund in 2004 to start helping us to see persons we have never seen before and respond in faith!

Our new challenge: 20/20 Visioning an AIDS Free world by 2020 : giving $20 whenever possible!

Thanks to Bill Black for Introducing the Special Offering Friday June 3 for UM Global AIDS Fund at Worship 8:30 am at Annual Conference last week in Lincoln - we hope to share his opening words later this summer via email or blog - with fundraising ideas for UM Global AIDS Fund www.umcneb.org/AIDS for NE info and www.umglobalaidsfund.org
