COMPASSION RESPONSE NETWORK CIRCULAR No 24
INTRODUCTION
During the year 2002, several global goodwill networkers linked together over internet, and noting the free dissemination throughout the world of many wonderful thoughtforms for solution of humanity’s many acute problems, we asked the following question. “How can these thoughtforms for solution stimulate direct action of world servers so to help transform the situation in the mass consciousness?” “How can these ideals be transformed into practice?”
We together decided to first focus upon one of the world’s most feared diseases, HIV/AIDS. “How can spiritual principles be applied so to develop a comprehensive compassion response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic?” And so as a group we offered ourselves to become the hands and feet, to be the agents for spiritual energies to guide us until such time as the global situation with HIV/AIDS is transformed. We agreed on a group name of Compassion Response Network.
Such a vast project would need broad support from the public, and would need to assist the public to direct money to areas of greatest need. And so in December 2002, Compassion Response Network registered in Australia as a public charitable organisation, requiring annual strict professional auditing of accounts and requiring all donations received to be used only for the charitable objectives specified in our constitution. Members of the management committee were registered from many nations, and are forbidden to withdraw wages or personal benefit from the charitable fund. Our services continue to be voluntary, and we choose to spend no money on promotion. For a task so urgent, word of mouth communication must be sufficient to spread the word.
During the next year, 2003, we developed a four-step agenda for action;
1) provision of free basic health care to the poorest of the poor,
2) open inquiry and open publication of comparative studies of all alternative treatments for HIV/AIDS,
3) direct involvement of HIV/AIDS patients and most HIV/AIDS affected peoples in central planning, evaluation and facilitation of future projects to respond to the needs of people most affected by HIV/AIDS ,
4) a vision for a global Alternative Treatments Movement and Alternative Treatments Charter through which the many groups interested in participation in a comprehensive compassion response to HIV/AIDS can creatively contribute to the whole effort.
The role of Compassion Response Network over the next few years would not be to facilitate such a global Alternative Treatments Movement and Alternative Treatments Charter, but simply to promote the vision, and in time to participate as one among many international groups when there will be widespread and simultaneous international invocation for such a Movement and Charter.
Through our networking, we became aware of nine safe and cheap alternative treatments for HIV/AIDS with claims to either cure HIV/AIDS or provide substantial healing benefit. For a number of these treatments, such a colloidal silver and Dr Hulda Clark’s zapper, we constructed devices which we gifted to service groups in Africa, India and Russia. Projects to provide this treatment were launched by several of our African coworkers, and the results were amazing and many flocked to receive treatment. However without scientific evidence for the value of such treatments, doctors in Africa were reluctant to support such projects.
We therefore decided to move onto the second step of our four-step agenda, of comparative studies of alternative treatments for HIV/AIDS. We constructed a CRN website for public access to our projects and results ( http://www.compassion-response.net ), and in April 2003 launched a public appeal to raise funds for a comparative study. The public response was however modest, but it nevertheless permitted us to trial one treatment at a time on a shoestring budget, and using servers in Africa who had already demonstrated their desire and capacity to serve humanity and the HIV/AIDS community.
Our first trial was with Imusil, and the second trial with pure colloidal silver. Each treatment is for three patients, receiving treatment over six months, with regular two-monthly medical checks and blood tests. Results for these trials we distribute to anyone eager to receive our regular CRN circulars, and they may also be seen by going to the CRN website. The results for each treatment were positive, but neither treatment eliminated the HIV virus, suggesting that once the treatment was ceased, then the HIV virus would continue to cause further AIDS disease.
After the four-monthly blood test results for the pure colloidal silver treatment, we had expected the three patients to be very introspective, as the continuing high HIV count suggested the treatment brought only temporary renewed vitality and health; once the treatment would stop, then the danger of death through AIDS would return. But the report from the patients’ group meeting in February 2006 amazed us. They together affirmed;
“Yes, we are ready to serve the humanity and to use the energy of goodwill to help us accomplish our objectives.
“As a group we want to come out of our AIDS patients misery, to organize a solidarity with the other AIDS African patients, and to make emerge a People's Movement of Africa.”
Quite unexpectedly, the patients themselves were invoking that CRN move forward to develop the implementation of the third step of CRN’s four-step agenda for action.
This was indeed a bold declaration for HIV patients whose own personal health future was still so uncertain. We therefore replied to them, that we can build a People’s Movement using spiritual principles and the rules for manifestation provided through Findhorn, but we must go gradually, building one step at a time. We asked how many from among their friends and family have HIV, and they replied about 50. We then suggested that they think about what support they would need to help 50 of their family and friends living with HIV.
In April/06, they held a meeting, and proposed that we arrange a gathering of the 50 people living with HIV, that CRN fund the travel expenses and food and drinks for the 50 to come together for a gathering, and to share their dreams and thoughts to us in Australia through a movie. Both Albert (our project facilitator in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo) and I were amazed at the creative potential for this idea, and we decided to flow with it. Sponsorship was arranged to purchase a movie camera and to fund the holding of the first gathering of 50 in Kinshasa living with HIV.
And so the first gathering of 50 was held in May/06, at the time of the Wesak (Taurus) Full Moon. The transcript of the testimony of those who then gathered so amazed us with its creative vision and practicality, that the testimonies from that Wesak gathering are provided in full below.

People living with HIV, living in Kinshasa, we are inviting them to express how they feel in their life, living with HIV.
(9.00) We begin with Abu sister.
“OK. My concern is that here we are suffering of HIV, the ones that are really suffering. We are very hungry. So hunger is killing us here. We have nothing to eat. Here we are looking for people to help us with money, so that we soon can drink medicines.”
(9.45) OK We have Galakani with something to say.
“Hello. My name is Galakani. Our problem is health. We need medicines to get cured. We need your help and experience, all the things that you are doing in your laboratory. We want to witness to other people to give testimony to God and also to raise up the name of our foundation.”
(10.36)“My name is Felicity. I am here in this centre for getting medicine for HIV people. That is our big concern. We sleep outside and we don’t have good places for sleeping. The sleeping place is so bad that it gets rats and we don’t sleep well. White ants get in the house and it is a big disaster. Sometimes we don’t have beds so we sleep on the ground. Because of the sickness, because of HIV, all our children send us away and so we have no support from them. We really need your help, otherwise we see disaster here.”
(11.53) “We are people living with HIV. We are in this centre that you know very well. We are really suffering here, since we have been infected with this HIV disease. In the companies where we are working, since they knew we were contaminated, we had HIV, they sent us away, and we have no way to work, no way to live, no way to earn anything. They think that working with them is a disaster for them, with the threat of being contaminated. And we have children. We are fathers and mothers with children to feed, a family to take care of. Some husbands have already died, and some wives also. We have no financial means to help our children study, so our children do not go to school. We have no way to live, no financial help. That is why we need your help for us, for our children and for our husbands. That is the reason why we are really in need of your help. Please help us with some income generating activities. So though we are suffering from that disease, we are drinking antiviral medicines, and now we are able to work and to make money. That is why we need some income generating activities. We need your support. That is why we are expecting your help for income generating activities. That is what I had to tell you. Please help us for income generating activities.”
(14.40) “Really we have too much suffering. Now we are beggars, we are only begging for money. It really is a disaster. We have no way to work. Eating is a difficult problem. We have no way to get good growth. We sleep in very bad conditions. Please help us, otherwise we die.”
(15.17) “My name is Idasai. Since we have been contaminated, our life is a disaster now. Our husbands have already died, just because of this disease. So life is very difficult, children are not going to school. So since God has given you ideas to help us, please think about us and our children. We need our children to go to school. We have no sleeping place. Our families have sent us away. We need your help, we need your support. After the death of our husbands, the family has sent us away. Now we are sleeping outside. The children don’t have any way to go to school. Thank you for your help.”
(16.14) “My name is Mam Sabina. I am really suffering and I come from a very far village in Gbadolite, far from Kinshasa. When the family knew that I was contaminated, that I had HIV, they sent me away from Gbadolite. Then I started coming here to Kinshasa. My brother here in Kinshasa who received me, sent me away out of his house, because he said, ‘You will never support me anymore’. And now I am sleeping in the church. So eating is a big deal for me. I am walking with much difficulties. If really you have means to help us, I need the medicine to reach us here in Africa, because I need to get healed. So let God help you, so you can get us the medicine, and get us healed also.”
(17.40) “My name is Rabidi Anin. I am a widow because my husband has already died. So the place my husband left me, now they are telling me to leave the place. So now I have AIDS, I am worrying. I have children. And if I leave this place where will I go? My eating is a big deal. My children are not going to school. Even myself, I did not study. I do not know to write. So I am really suffering. OK.”
(18.35) “My name is Guba Alfonsai, and I am really suffering since I have been contaminated. My legs are aching. I have been suffering for years with this disease. My husband is still alive and he supports me, with eating and everything, but I continue to suffer. I have children, I have grandchildren, but they are not going to school, because there is no way to help them. I have no more to say. I just need your support.”
(19.30) “For the second time I come back here again. I need you people in Australia, you the population of Australia, please do your best to help the Congolese people; with eating, studying, medical care, social care. We are waiting for your help. And also the medicine you promised to heal us. That is why we are here together. Thank you once again.”
(20.20) “My name is Risa Jamain. I am a widow. I live with my mother. I have no place to live. When I was travelling I had my means to take care of my family. But since I have been sick, I have no way to continue travelling. That is why we ask God to bless you, so that you can help us give a solution to this big problem. And also the medicine to drink to get me healed. I have no family member to support me, man-wise or social-wise. I went to look for my elder brother to get some money to eat, but he sent me away. He refused to help me. That is why I want you to help me.”
(22.00) “My name is Henrietta. I am very happy with this idea you have to help us here in Kinshasa. My concern is to live the way I was living before. Because now people do not consider us. On the way, they take us for less important people. God who gave you that idea, please do all you can do for us. We are really hopeful that your medicine will help us get healed, and also we can start working the way we were working before. If you have the means, you can come here to Kinshasa, and see how we are dependent. We sleep on the floor. We have no bed here. Our presence is a bad thing for our relatives. Let God give you intelligence, so that you could do everything and find the medicine for us. Alright, that is all I have to say.”
KINSHASA PROJECT TO ASSIST INCOME GENERATING ACTIVITIES
Following the Wesak (May/2006) gathering of 50 PVV (PVV = “personnes vivant avec VIH”, French for “people living with HIV”) to express their heart feelings about living with HIV, many of the PVV gathered together in further meetings. They had many debates and discussions between themselves, and asked themselves “How would they use money donated from affluent countries?” For I had promised that I would broadly disseminate their appeal for help. Through their discussions, they developed a project of financial support for various income generating activities. These ideas came from the PVV themselves, and the creativity, practicality, economy and imagination of these ideas have astounded both Albert and myself.
To understand their primary emphasis on income generating activities, I share with you how Albert (our Kinshasa coworker) has described the problem of famine in his country.
“Usually people here take only one meal per day, a poor meal, for those who have enough means. Certain families eat by role (one day some family members, then the others for the following day), because there is less food. Myself I eat once a day, inside of the cafe I take in the morning. Therefore when we speak about hunger here, it must be considered not as a certain lack of food, but nearly as a disease. I have sometimes experienced the lack of food during a whole day until the following day, it is simply terrible! It is as in a state of shock, the mind in this case does not function again normally. A person in this situation needs first to be resuscitated by taking a meal, and we know how many people here literally die of hunger!
“When someone is in a desperate situation like deep hunger, there is not a language he can understand, he must first resolve the immediate hunger problem, then he can learn...There is the proverb in French which says: ‘Ventre affamé n'a point d'oreilles!’ in English this means ‘The famished stomach has no ears’”
Most of the PVV have this problem of severe hunger, or famine. Moreover, most of them, though capable of working, are unemployed. This is in part because of the deep poverty gripping the country caused by decades of corrupt government and civil unrest and civil warfare. Thus so many of the most needy and vulnerable in Kinshasa are forced out onto the streets, to find sleeping quarters as they may, and to scrounge around for survival through begging. Many of the PVV who had jobs at the time they were diagnosed as having HIV, simply then lost their jobs because family and employers shunned them, refusing to let them work, regarding them as a people to be avoided and shunned. They therefore have a danger greater even than death through AIDS; that is, death through hunger and famine. Therefore their emphasis for self-employment, before they can consider even matters of health.
For a single person to live comfortably in Kinshasa (though still with many sacrifices) requires about US$300 a month. To survive long term requires about US$100 a month. The PVV suggested that in order to survive they need food support of US$20 a month, until such time as each is provided with sufficient support to help them acquire an income generating activity. If we neglect this basic need, they must simply grow weaker day by day through famine.
The PVV themselves came up with this figure of US$20 a month for sustenance support. This figure is much more modest than the present World Vision child sponsorship of A$39 a month = US$29 a month. Let us calculate how much sustenance support they would need over a year of neglect by avoiding helping them to gain employment.
The costs would be US$20/month x 12 months x 50 PVV = US$12,000/year. This is just basic sustenance support, without even starting to do anything to help them to survive adequately and independently.
But the PVV do not want to be dependent upon charity, except perhaps a little to begin with until the main project has gained momentum. So they have come up with a project, through which for an outlay of US$27,000 (that is, US$550 for each PVV), the entire community would be adequately employed and self-supported. The initial target is to employ 30 from their number. The remaining 20 can live off the support from those getting jobs early in the project, and then when the 30 have jobs, the community would be self-sufficient and would be able to assist the remainder to get jobs.
This US$27,000 they do not request as a gift to any PVV personally, but rather as a gift to a community fund. Each PVV seeking support for employment, then borrows from the community fund, committing to repay over the following year or two. So perhaps to achieve our target of US$27,000 injected to initiate income generating activities, we do not have to raise from affluent countries more than about a third of the target cost, US$27,000 / 3 = US$9,000. As soon as those who first gain employment start monthly repayments of their loan, then this refunded money can be recycled to initiate employment for others of the PVV.
The 30 jobs that they propose we assist them with are, 8 points selling breads, 6 points selling second hand clothes, 6 points selling soft drinks, 5 points selling fresh food, and 5 points growing vegetables. The volunteers for vegetable growing points already own some land outside of Kinshasa, but they need assistance with garden tools, seeds and seedlings.
This is a large project, and to begin with they propose that in the first year, we sponsor 5 facilitators, at the combined rate of US$230/month or US$2,760 over the year. After the year, the prosperity of the community will be able to pay the facilitators, eventually with full time wages. The roles of these 5 facilitators would be; project director, project supervisor, leader of the works, treasurer, accountant. US$230/month for 5 facilitators is still very low part time wages, of around US$50/month each. The figure US$230/month is based upon the assumption that we raise the US$27,000 for the entire project within a few months. If we raise only part of this amount early, then the number of facilitators will need to be drastically cut to one or two until the group becomes self-sufficient. In this case the financial support for the facilitators would be about 10% of the project money arriving into the Kinshasa community fund.
There is an educational budget of US$308 required to provide notebooks and notes to help the group organise. Then the budgets for each of the 5 types of jobs are as follows;
1) 8 points selling bread. Total cost = US$1,509 or a loan of about US$188 per PVV. Each PVV, once set up for employment, would then repay the loan at a rate of US$20/month, repaying the full loan in about 10 months.
2) 6 points selling second hand clothes. Total cost = US$6,480 or a loan of about US$1,080 per PVV. Each PVV, once set up for employment, would then repay the loan at a rate of US$80/month, repaying the full loan in about 14 months.
3) 6 points selling soft drink. Total cost = US$5,736 or a loan of about US$956 per PVV. The greater part of this cost is for a fridge at the selling point. Each PVV, once set up for employment, would then repay the loan at a rate of US$18/month, repaying the full loan in about 53 months.
4) 5 points selling fresh food. Total cost = US$7,975 or a loan of about US$1,595 per PVV. Most of the cost goes towards purchase of 2 fridges per point, plus purchase of fresh food. Each PVV, once set up for employment, would then repay the loan at a rate of US$96/month, repaying the full loan in about 17 months.
5) 5 points for cultivating vegetables. Total cost = US$2,232 or a loan of about US$446 per PVV. Each PVV is provided with US$95 worth of garden tools, US$28 for fertiliser and urea, and US$323 worth of seeds and seedlings and sundry items. Each PVV, once set up for employment, would then repay the loan at a rate of US$135/month, repaying the full loan in about 4 months.
The first four of these activities would each require a month to organise and set up, then the second month would be fully productive.
1) The selling bread points would then earn US$120 a month, repaying the loan at US$20 a month.
2) The selling second hand clothes points would then earn US$800 a month, repaying the loan at US$80 a month.
3) The selling soft drinks points would then earn US$110 a month, repaying the loan at US$18 a month.
4) The selling fresh foods point would then earn US$960 a month, repaying the loan at US$96 a month.
5) The jobs of cultivating vegetables, would need a 3-month preparation period, with ploughing, preparation, sowing, cultivating. Then from the fourth month, the monthly income would be US$500 a month, and from the seventh month US$2,000 a month. From the fourth month, they would be able to repay their loan at a rate of US$135 a month.
The PVV further calculated a cost for replacing broken and worn-out items. Once the cultivation points are fully productive after the seventh month, then all workers joining together can manage covering the full cost of replacements. Thus replacement costs are not included in the US$27,000 initial project cost.
The PVV themselves developed the idea of a communal fund. It is to the communal fund, that donations from affluent countries are first deposited into. The group in Kinshasa is considering opening a bank account as soon as the group is sufficiently well established. The costs in large fees for a small NGO to open a bank account in Kinshasa may prevent opening a bank account until the group is sufficiently established.
In the first half of the project, up to the time when all 30 PVV find employment, the donations from affluent countries go direct into this fund, once the money is received in Kinshasa. Monthly repayments from those of the 30 PVV who are established workers, also go into the community fund, and contribute towards the reaching of the project cost goal of US$27,000. Money is then used from the community fund to provide new job opportunities, as soon as the money becomes available.
Then at the point at which all 30 PVV have jobs, we note the amount of donations received to this point from affluent countries. This amount (which may be around US$9,000) becomes the community fund total assets amount. At the point of full employment, there is no money in the bank. All the money has been spent in providing jobs for the 30 PVV. The total assets amount is owed to the community fund by the 30 working PVV. From this point, the second half of the project, the bank balance of the community fund grows as the working PVV continue to forward their monthly repayments, until the entire total assets of the community fund is in the bank.
Our CRN management committee has approved this project, and has agreed upon fund raising goals as follows;
1) In early November/06, CRN forwarded US$1,500 into the Kinshasa Community fund. This was all the spare funds CRN had at this time.
2) We raise and send US$600 to Kinshasa by 15/December/06
3) By 1/February/07 we send AUD$500 = (about US$370) into the community fund.
4) The first day of every month thereafter, we send a further AUD$500 into the community fund, until aggregate CRN donations into the community fund totals US$9,000.
5) We continue with the target of raising and sending AUD$500 a month into the community fund, but any money received over the initial US$9,000 must then be used to provide micro-credit loans to people with HIV outside of the original 50. An interesting idea being discussed is that the first such loan is to purchase a plot of land of a few hectares outside of Kinshasa to become the location of a Findhorn-style gardening community of people with HIV.
The community fund becomes a fund to be used by the PVV. As the second half of the project progresses, and members repay their loan into the bank, they can then decide as a group, how to use the community fund. The idea is that these funds belong to the group organisation to be used in practical and business ways of developing a true Brotherhood, with solidarity and community spirit. It is towards involvement in the community that the PVV will be committing, and for this purpose they will collectively be entrusted with the responsibility of managing the community fund and to make decisions about its development. This fund will therefore be consecrated towards the further building of community, in whatever sense the 50 PVV choose to direct it, whether for micro-credit loans to other PVV, towards a school for the PVV children, a clinic, a pharmacy, or however they collectively choose.
Once the loans for the establishing of employment for the 50 PVV are fully repaid, then a further choice will confront the group of PVV. They will have fully repaid their debt, and so they will have earned their full independence. Yet they will have proven that they are capable of collectively making monthly payments into the community fund of over US$1,500 a month for a sustained period of time. When the debt is fully repaid to the community fund, will they then use this US$1,500/month for their own comfortable living (for living in Kinshasa is indeed hard) or will they continue to inject further funds into the community fund, at a continuing rate of about US$1,500/month, or perhaps a more relaxed rate? Then they can continue to use the community fund in truly creative ways for the good of the entire community. But how they choose, is for the 50 PVV to decide, for they have earned their independence from further support from affluent nations for their basic needs.
THE FINANCIAL CHALLENGE
As a charitable organisation, CRN is dependent upon sponsorship from the public for the success of its projects.
With public assistance through donations, CRN seeks to help kick-start the income generating activities for the 30 PVV in Kinshasa in two stages;
1) Through two early payments of US$1,500 in early November/06 and at least US$600 in mid-December/06. Of this money, US$900 will be used for kick-starting two vegetable growing points starting early November. US$1,200 will be used as food support and wages of facilitators in the difficult three months before the vegetable growing points become productive. If donations received for this period exceed this target, then for each extra US$450 raised, we would be able to kick start one more vegetable growing point, until all five vegetable growing points are able to be started.
2) Through regular monthly support from early 2007 onwards. The first amounts of US$450 sent into the community fund will go towards kick-starting another vegetable growing point until all five vegetable growing points have started. Then any extra money deposited into the community fund will help kick-start the other 25 income generating activities, in the order as agreed by the 50 PVV. In this way, we aim to contribute a total of US$9,000 to the Kinshasa community fund within a year or so.
The best way to make regular or monthly payments to CRN is through regular debits made to your credit card. Credit card debits are free, though debits from an overseas credit card may attract an international transfer fee.
Through the help of supporters, a community of 50 people living with HIV will gain the capacity to find employment, elevate their social life, and become self-sufficient, and will together engage in community projects to help develop a comprehensive compassionate response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Once the total of US$9,000 has been raised from donations from affluent countries, your regular donations will be used for other micro-credit projects that contribute directly to assist a people’s movement to develop a comprehensive compassionate response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic, by finding effective community treatments for AIDS or perhaps helping another 50 PVV gain income generating activities.
All donors and interested persons are welcome to receive regular updates of CRN projects through our free CRN circular issued every few months. The CRN circular can be sent automatically by email by request through keane@nw.com.au
How To Make Donations
By Post
Personal cheques, bank drafts or postal notes (in Australian or your country's currency) should be made out to "Compassion Response Network" and sent to our postal address,
Compassion Response Network, PO Box 582, Gosnells WA 6110, Australia.
It is important that the name "Compassion Response Network" is printed on such payments, as then such payments can only be legally cashed through deposit in the CRN bank account, which is annually audited to confirm all expenditure is in accordance with CRN charitable objectives.
By Direct Deposit, donations from within Australia
Direct deposits can be made within Australia through direct deposit to the CRN bank account, specifying;
Company name (Compassion Response Network),

BSB code (633-000) and
account number (118955723).
Deposits made at any branch of the Bendigo Bank are free. If the deposit is made at another bank or financial institution within Australia, there may be a transfer fee of AUD$4 or $5 from a savings account, though regular direct debits from credit cards should be free of charge.
THE SPIRITUIAL CHALLENGE
Need arises and emergency decrees.
As important as is the financial challenge that lies before us, still greater is the spiritual challenge. For the great tragedy of AIDS in Africa is deeply associated with the great economic problem of uneven distribution of wealth throughout the world. And this problem, the poverty in Third World nations versus the affluence in Western nations, flows on from the unjust imposition of the slave trade of former centuries. We in Western nations have gained our affluence and economic dominance over the people of the Third World through the force of the gun. The guilt and negative karma weighs heavily upon our collective soul, and we find it too easy to think of the problem of AIDS as too difficult. The great problem to overcome is inertia.
Only the Fire of Love that the Christ brings has the power to transcend our inertia, so to burn and destroy all barriers in man’s nature, all separating walls between individuals, between groups and between nations. So it must be that the outer work of financial support will be effective or not effective according to the degree of our strength of purpose and depth of love in opening our hearts and responding through compassionate direct action to a portion of the vast needs manifest in the world today.
Thus are we called to the Christ Ministry, to offer ourselves as servants of the Creator God, He in Whom we live and move and have our being. For the Christ has said, “The things that I do shall ye do also, and greater things shall ye do.” This is a living promise, and it has been given to each of us. We collectively have the power through Christ, to manifest the Kingdom of Heaven upon Earth through active use and direction of the mantram handed down to us through the Great Invocation,
“Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.”
The time has come to invoke Light, Love and Power to manifest God’s Plan on Earth, to break through the barriers that hinder, through invoking the descent of the Spirit to manifest the Divine Plan upon Earth, shattering all impeding obstacles through the greatly increased life within the form. It is a time to affirm Christ’s promise of life, and life more abundantly. At this time, we consecrate all to God’s honour and glory. We must let God’s Light shine through all, revealing nothing but the truth. We must seek nothing for the lower self. We must come to seek God and love God with all our heart, mind and soul.
We are inviting the 50 to reflect at this time, about how their People’s Movement can expand by manifesting their prayer petitions one by one until there emerges a global People’s Movement responding creatively and through spiritual inspiration to the needs of the global community living with HIV. Never before to my understanding, have a group of people living with HIV come together for the purpose of empowerment through the Spirit to assist the most wretched of the wretched, who are afflicted with AIDS, using the spiritual rules for manifestation.
This is indeed a time when we seek your prayers to send spiritual and healing energy to overshadow the 50 in Kinshasa living with HIV, so that the Spirit guides them in awakening their hearts to God’s greater Plan for all of humanity living with HIV.
Yours in love and light,
David Keane,
Secretary, Compassion Response Network
