Who is My Neighbor?

We find ourselves in an increasingly divided country and world, In these social media and AI-driven days it’s far too easy to sit back and let events take their course, even self-congratulating that we’re not participating in the mix.  Yet complacency isn’t found in the Bible.

How often in this mix do we think about how the Church is called to be salt and light to the world?  While we’re wringing our hands about the challenges around us, we could use that time to focus on how the Church must lead with rational, respectful conversation; objective perspectives; compassionate solutions—all steeped in biblical principles.

Faith for Life is a growing coalition of faith-based leaders and organizations, churches, missionaries and individuals committed to making a tangible difference in our communities, our states, our nations and the world however possible through our faith, our united voice and our actions—all grounded in Scripture.  It is all about standing firm on Christ’s example of how we should live—not what’s popular, not the easiest path, but consistently grounded in His example. 

Did Christ ever ignore those in need?

This website looks at the many facets of global populations. While Christ touched and redeemed peoples’ souls, He also met their physical needs:  feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and meeting each person in their circumstance.   That is the work of the Church.  

This website strives to provide information on many groups working to serve Him.  We provide data, resources, websites and other information that we trust will make the Body of Christ stronger together.   And we invite you to join us!

Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, ‘What good thing must I do to get eternal life?’  Jesus replied. . .‘Obey the commandments.’  ‘Which ones?’ the man inquired. Jesus replied, ‘Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself.’  ‘All these I have kept’: the young man said.  ‘What do I still lack?’ Jesus answered, ‘If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions a16-nd give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.  Then, come follow me.’  Matthew 19:21 NIV

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind: and Love your neighbor as yourself.”
-Luke 10:27

Whatever Happened to AIDS?

Faith-For-Life.com

More than 40 years after the first cases were reported in 1981, many still ask that question—if they even think about it at all. AIDS is virtually absent from the news today, and because multiple global programs have worked for at least two decades to end the pandemic that so devastated the globe in the 1980s and 1990s, most assume it is gone.   But is it?

This website will provide data that explains the history and extent of today’s HIV/AIDS pandemic, proven interventions that have slowed its spread and interrupted transmission, and highlight tools we have to finally end the pandemic by 2030.  

Please engage with us to understand the history, the amazing progress achieved and the future of global efforts to end the HIV/AIDS pandemic today and into the future.  

Key Issues

"There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us. There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered. There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us and does not now bear with us."
-Pope John Paul II

We will explore several aspects of the HIV/AIDS pandemic together:

Data & Global Challenges

In his World AIDS Day 2024 remarks, Ambassador John Nkengasong addressed the theme, “Collective Action: Sustain and Accelerate HIV Progress,” saying we cannot let up on countering an infectious disease that has taken the lives of 42 million people—and for which there is no vaccine or cure. Highlighted PEPFAR life-saving achievements include:

  • 26 million lives saved
  • 7.8 million babies born HIV-free
  • 20.6 million people on life-saving antriretroviral treatment
  • 2.3 million adolescent girls and young women reached with comprehensive HIV prevention services
  • 6.6 million orphans, vulnerable children and their caregivers received critical care and support
  • 2.5 million people newly enrolled on PrEP to prevent HIV infection
  • 83.8 million people provided with HIV testing services
  • 342.000 health care workers directly supported by PEPFAR

“If we are to end HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2030,” Nkengasong said, “it will be the communities most impacted by the pandemic that will lead us.. . .Sustaining an effective HIV response requires continued bipartisan support at home and increasing programmatic ownership from PEPFAR supported countries. . .A clean, five-year reauthorization of PEPFAR will enable the program to cement a great American-led triumph over one of the most challenging viruses humanity has every encountered and enable a smooth transition to country-led programs with government accountability and community leadership at their core.”
