Activists-at-Renasce-EsperancaChurch denominations in Mozambique have begun to feel the impact of the recent campaign on HIV  AIDS mounted in 2007 by the Renasce Esperanca  as one of the projects ” AIDS in Bible context” of the Evangelical Lutheran Church AIDS program.

The project which involved visiting and campaign in different Churches, meetings and workshops with church leaders from conservative and independent denominations to encourage chuches to break the silence and speak about HIV AIDS has now recorded huge success as they are now able to talk on the pandemic during their sermons. One of the denominations called PEDRA VISTA CHURCH ( Rock view Church) has gone an extra mile to ask VCT (Voluntary Counseling and Testing) to test their Christians status on HIV in the Church.
