Abstract:
This paper shall deal with the concept of hope and how it can be communicated
to those living with HIV/ AIDS. The church in South Africa and around the world
should rise up to the challenge and take the opportunity given to her to proclaim
the hope that is found in Christ Jesus. In this section I shall give a brief definition
of the Christian term “Hope” and how it should be communicated effectively
to those living with HIV/AIDS with the fear of death upon their minds. But before
I deal with the subject at hand it is important to understand the conditions
that we live in with regards to the HIV/AIDS prevalence in South Africa, below
are the alarming statistics and the reality the church faces and the opportunity it
presents.
