PREFACE
There is a God-honoring way to relate to God’s image-bearers who have HIV/AIDS, and that way can be taught to Christians in the Church/Organizations. I would like to extend my profound gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Danny Bowen, (A Medical Doctor), with his vast experience in Healthcare for more than forty-three years in the Medical Fraternity and as well as a great theologian, has brought his expertise, experience in this book. I pray that this book will benefit Christians, churches, and non-governmental organizations to respond to HIV/AIDS positive and other diseases battering humanity today in a God-honoring way.
My heart-felt thanks to my dear wife, Judith, and our children, Blessing, Shalom, Prosper, Emmanuel, and Joseph-Sam, Jr., my late father Joseph and late mother Josephine who gave me all their support spiritually, socially, and morally when they were still alive. Above all, I am thankful to God the Almighty, for giving me the strength and good health to serve Him and to write this book that will help thousands of people, churches, and organizations to respond to HIV/AIDS positive people. To God be the glory, honor, and praise from generations to generations and forever and ever.

The book explores the fundamental human dignity and respect relating to HIV/AIDS positive people who have suffered scorn, isolation, discrimination and stigma in the society. The book suggests a God-honoring way to relate to God’s image-bearers (imago-dei) who have HIV/AIDS or any disease that has similar stigma. It is out of that aspiration and anticipation of this book to plan and implement a teaching series to the church/organizations as Christian response to HIV/AIDS. The book goes a long way in providing teaching series and resources to garner that goal and objective to treat all people equally, with dignity and respect as God’s image-bearers. This book is highly recommended to everyone, including Christian teachers, leaders and Ministers who desire to see the members of the society treated with dignity and respect as Dr. Sabelo Sam Gasela Mhlanga outlines all the fabric social issues patterning to HIV/AIDS that hang on the balance and pose a threat to the 21st generation.
