    Pernessa C. Seele As a pillar of strength in the Black community, the Black Church has taken up the cross in the fight against HIV/AIDS with Our Church Lights The Way: The Black Church HIV Testing Campaign. We are sending messages of love and hope to those living with HIV/AIDS through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We are offering uplifting words of inspiration to those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and we are telling everyone in our community to take a stand and help us stop the spread of HIV by getting tested.
