When the AIDS epidemic hit the world, it especially hit Southern Africa. The worst hit country was the small nation of Swaziland. Twenty three percent of all children in the country were orphaned and the average adult life expectancy fell to age 32, the lowest in the world. Faced with this devastating epidemic that many consider to be a pandemic, a group of Church leaders and Christian businessmen came together and proposed a radical idea. Why not buy an abandoned mining town and create a new community of blended families to care for hundreds of broken and abandoned AIDS orphans? The remarkable story of Bulembu and its lessons for the global church is what we will talk about on today's Lessons from Legends program.
