HOW TO START A HIV/AIDS MINISTRY...   For you Pastors that are seeking God and asking Him how to create a way to serve the individuals with HIV/AIDS, you need only CONTINUE praying for them as you would for “ANY ONE” with “ANY TYPE” OF ILLNESS OR DISEASE – all of them need “Healing and Deliverance.”  If you would like to create a HIV/AIDS support group, PLEASE REMEMBER this Ministry is a “Soul Saving” ministry just like ANY OTHER Ministry should be within your Church.   This is the “Christ Commission,” to care about one another, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations (including the nation of the homosexual, bi-sexual and any individuals who may have contracted HIV/AIDS for various reasons), baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit [Matthew 28:19].   AMEN!!!   For those of you who would like to start a HIV/AIDS support group, you “may” be led of the Spirit to do the following “4” Step Process (n.b. there are VARIOUS ways to LOVE and SUPPORT people in need – the following is NOT the ONLY way):

“4” Step Process – AMEN!!!
Step 1	Designate a REGULAR meeting day, be that weekly, bi-weekly or monthly.  You may want to advertise this as a “Healing and Deliverance” support group that will address all issues for healing including HIV/AIDS, cancer, addictive behavior, etc. – AMEN!!!
Step 2	PRAY and SEEK the Father’s Heart for the HIV/Aids support ministry at your Church home and OBEY the Spirit’s leading accordingly – AMEN!!!
Step 3	Create promotional materials such as a Brochure explaining your ministry with the confirming scripture from Heaven; Fliers to distribute as the Spirit leads; Ministry [business] Cards for the Serving Leadership to hand out in the community. AMEN!!!
Step 4	HIV/AIDS Resources:   You may want to create a LIST of HIV/AIDS community resources to “just have as support materials” at your meeting. You may want to have HIV/AIDS awareness fliers, brochures, etc. available at your meeting as a resource. You may also want to create a DISPLAY and keep this information in your Church lobby. AMEN!!!

Pastors and Servant Leadership, please remember that you SERVE an “audience of ONE” – the Lord Jesus.  Just serve HIM and put your FAITH and TRUTH in HIM and HE will do the rest.  Amen!!!!   Your Sister/Friend,   Evangelist Ava Gardner
