The Balm In Gilead rejoices and mourns the passing of our dear brother Rev. Anthony Hollins.
Rev. Hollins was far more than a colleague; he was a partner and friend of The Balm In Gilead.

We certainly will miss him in the vineyard of fighting the public health crisis of HIV/AIDS and NOT people living with the disease.

Recently, Rev. Hollins participated in The Balm In Gilead’s 2007 Black Church Institute for HIV and Other Health Disparities in Hilton Head, SC. As a panelist moderated by Bev Smith, Anthony stated "we all are living with AIDS," highlighting the empathic compassion of the Gospel: We rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

The Gospel calls us to mutuality, oneness and the sharing of joys and sorrows. HIV/AIDS is a community and world-wide health care crisis, requiring a unified and shared response. Rev. Hollins was a servant leader and mighty warrior of GOD who exemplified the compassion leadership taught to us through the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.

Anthony has joined the Balm In Gilead’s Hall of Believers whose smile, laughter and spirit lives within the fabric of our soul. His legacy lives in our hearts forever.

On behalf of Board of Directors, staff and founder/CEO Pernessa Seele, we proclaim the eternal life of Anthony Hollins a true balm in Gilead!
