Prayer amid Pandemic

Even Fellow Believers Didn’t Understand Her Love for AIDS Patients

Little was known about the epidemic. But Philomena Percival’s love for God prompted her to take risks for the sick in Guyana.

Philomena Percival has counseled and cared for hundreds of AIDS patients in Guyana for more than 25 years. She joins Prayer amid Pandemic to discuss how an ectopic pregnancy led her to care for those afflicted by AIDS, how witnessing this suffering up close changed her faith, and why Christians should spend more time with the sick.

This episode’s prayer is from Miguel Castillo, the coaching coordinator for M4 Spain, who resides in Madrid.
