Currently we are ministering full-time with Campus Crusade for Christ on the UW-Madison campus and in the surrounding area (including UW-Whitewater and UW-Plateville along with many other smaller universities, community colleges, and technical schools.) The student population of this area is around 100,000 students. We are beginning our 9th year in campus mininstry. We are involved with sharing Jesus with students that do not know Him yet, leading Bible studies and weekly meetings, and planning retreats and spring break and summer project mission trips among other things.  Currently the movement at Madison has around 450 students actively involved.

Johanna Theunissen - South Africa - works for a non-profit organization
called Botshabelo, as the Home-Based Care coordinator. Botshabelo includes three programs: the Babies' Home for orphaned and abandoned children (some of them HIV+), Home-Based Care, and Community-Based Child Care. Both the Home-Based Care and Community-Based Child Care work into the needy community of Olievenhoutbosch, an area containing 30,000 people living in shacks or government-built housing.

In the Home-Based Care, six Community Health Workers (CHW) currently work with Johanna, providing emotional, physical and spiritual care to 60 people who have HIV, TB, or both.  The CHW support them and the affected families by addressing issues such as nutrition, the importance of accessing medical treatment and anti-retrovirals, and how to deal with common problems such as diarrhea.  They listen to, pray for and encourage these individuals and families.  With a disease such as HIV/AIDS, there is so much stigma and
shame attached to it that friendship and love can make a huge difference. 
This is one of the main goals of the program: to establish close relationships between volunteer and "patient" and among members of the community, forming a network of support.
