My friend Tony is liveblogging the AIDS Conference this week here at Saddleback. So far he’s posted a bunch of good stuff from John Ortberg, Rick and Kay Warren and more. Here’s a clip from some of it, bookmark his blog for lots more through Saturday afternoon:

• “God does hear the cries of the needy.” – Kay Warren
• There are nearly 40 Million people who have AIDS.
• There are 12 Million children who have been orphaned because of AIDS.
• You are going to be faced with a moment when you are going to decided to be an advocate or not – whether the information and new reality you see will stir you to take action.
• You are either in or you are out. You will either use the influence you have to be a voice and support on behalf of people suffering from the AIDS pandemic, or you won’t.
• You do have influence, You do have freedom, You do have a voice, and you can lift it on behalf of the sick, the poor, and the orphan.
• Your advocacy will lead you to be an Activist!
  • Intentional Action to bring about change.
  • Your emotions must translate into action.
