People keep asking me that question and the answer seems so complicated sometimes. I get confused on where to start. I don't know how much to tell them. But in my mind, it's rather simple, because it needs to be done.

Because I can do it.

Because I have lived far too long in far too much comfort.

Because suffering sucks.

Because I care.

Because God loves all of us.

Because no one else is doing it right now.

Because God has gifted me with talents and time and resources and education.

Because it makes me cry.

Because I can't think of a single good reason not to.

Because I want to.

Because by loving the least of these I am loving God.

Because the Gospel really is GOOD NEWS worth telling.

Because HIV is preventable and treatable.

Because God said so.

Because God called me to.
