Our world is shrinking by the day. Global travel, a global economy, and advancing technology have drawn the world together more than ever before.

But something else ties our world together—the AIDS crisis, which can no longer be viewed as “someone else’s problem.” This epidemic has grown to such a magnitude that it’s now everyone’s problem.

This booklet, written by Bill Crowder, seeks to open our hearts and minds to the history of the crisis, the human toll it is exacting, and a Christian response that mirrors the spirit of Christ. May our Lord move us to respond with His compassion to this unprecedented global challenge.
