Conspire With Us
As part of the Advent Conspiracy OCC is taking its commitment to the
cause of HIV/AIDS to a new level. We're pursuing a goal of raising over
$100,000 to support partnering organizations around the globe that are
working with infected and at-risk populations, including AIDS orphans.
Opportunities to give toward this goal willbe given when we host
the World Vision AIDS: Experience exhibit and when
offerings are collected at each of our Christmas Eve services.
Funds will be used for education, prevention, direct care and programs
that give hope and new life. We are proud to partner with organizations
several organizations, among them are World Vision, iThemba Lethu
(Durban, S. Africa), Living Hope (Cape Town, S. Africa), and Christian
Ministries in Africa (East Africa).
We are hosting the WORLD VISION EXPERIENCE:AIDS exhibit December 12-15.
As one of the largest and most effective humanitarian organizations in
the world, World Vision has developed this award-winning exhibit with
the intent of helping individuals step into Africa to understand the
plight of children in AIDS-affected areas. Sign up to volunteer or to
reserve a FREE ticket to the World Vision Experience: AIDS exhibit at

iTHEMBA LETHU means "I have a destiny," and its vision is to help
children and youth, whose futures are threatened by HIV/AIDS, regain a
meaningful destiny. The organization's work includes transitional homes
for orphans, an HIV Prevention Program, and a breastmilk bank for AIDS
orphans and other babies in need. More info at www.ithembalethu.org.za.
LIVING HOPE COMMUNITY CENTRE is one of the largest local church
responses to HIV/AIDS in the world. Seeking to bring the hope and
