Background:  

After years of ministry among those with leprosy in India, Sujai & Lavanya responded to God’s call to minister to those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS (India’s lowest “caste”). Under their dedicated and capable leadership, a medical work started in 2004 in a small way as an out-patient based clinic in the living room of their home. [Seed money provided from CPC’s Ministry Expansion Fund was used to help launch the ministry.]  The clinic quickly outgrew their home.  Now, a main clinic in Hyderabad and a second location cater to the needs of hundreds of individuals and families each month affected by HIV and leprosy.

Ministry:

AIDS Care, Education & Treatment is a community based organization dedicated to the Christ-like compassionate care and support of people living with HIV/AIDS and leprosy using a holistic approach. The work is based in the medical clinics and in community outreach. It’s key work focus is on providing counselling, medical care, training and empowerment of women, socio-economic, spiritual care and support. 

Prayer Requests:

• That the clinic would truly be a place of hope.
• That the medical staff would be strengthened in their particular leadership roles.
• That God will supply the resources (financial, dedicated personnel, facilities) to continue this ministry. 
• For protection in all times and all locations.
