Events
Anyone is welcome to attend Realize AIDS events.
AWARENESS
AIDS Village Experience
This fall, we are partnering with World Vision and several other California churches to bring the AIDS Village Experience to MPPC. This is an interactive display that introduces you to the daily lives of those who are suffering from HIV/AIDS.

From AIDS movie nights to "Dining in for Life" BBQs, we hold bi-monthly events to have fun and increase our knowledge of issues related to HIV/AIDS.

SERVICE
AIDS Caregiver Kits
In partnership with World Vision, we organize kit-building sessions to supply Africa's millions of AIDS caregivers with much needed supplies. Get involved and help build kits!
Ethiopia Initiative AIDS/Medical Team
Ethiopia is a nation that has one of the highest growth rates for HIV/AIDS on the African continent. Thus AIDS ministry is a critical element of MPPC's commitment to that country. Learn what we are doing!

PRAYER
Monthly AIDS Prayer Meetings
We know that with God, anything is possible, including a transformation of this global crisis. Therefore we focus on drenching the AIDS crisis in prayer. Meetings are held the 4th Wednesday of each month.
