…imagine what that kind of money could do in Africa. And see what Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life is doing by asking that question: Race Against Time.

Here is the basic pitch:

Around the world people are running a desperate race – a life-or-death race against time. They’re racing to stop the HIV/AIDS pandemic. More than 25 million people have died. And the pandemic continues to outpace the global response.

Rick and Kay Warren have decided they can’t ignore HIV/AIDS, history’s greatest health crisis. In fact, they believe HIV/AIDS may be the greatest opportunity Christians ever have had to demonstrate Christ’s love. They’ve made it a signature issue at Saddleback Church, and they urge your church to join them: “At the 2006 Global Summit on AIDS and the Church: Race Against Time, Nov. 30-Dec. 1, the Warrens, along with world-renowned experts and key leaders, will inspire and equip your church to change the world. Don’t miss this timely event!”

Go to the website, see the program and see what Christians devoted to good are really all about. This is the real deal. Amen.
