This is a picture of today's lovely woman:
Bilomba Tshinanga. She is a 32 yr old mother of three children. Her husband lives in another city after taking a new wife. Bilomba is sad and feels humiliation. She recently became ill with a series of illnesses causing weight loss and diarrhea. She came to the clinic suspicious of HIV infection and we have confirmed her suspicions. Pray for her and for her assurances of God's caring for her and her children.
