As millions around the world observed AIDS Day on Sunday, Bishop T.D. Jakes’ The Potter’s House megachurch provided free HIV testing to hundreds of people in Dallas, Texas, to express solidarity with those affected and send out the message that getting tested is “simple, easy and important.”
The church called medical aides from UT Southwestern Medical Center and set up tables in the lobby of its campus, as part of its “Spread the Word. Get Tested” health-screening campaign.
“Getting tested is not just about being at risk but also about the education around the shared responsibility for a healthy generation,” The Potter’s House said in a statement.
“With it being not only a national, but an international epidemic, we wanted to show our solidarity,” Bonné Moon, an associate pastor at the megachurch, told Dallas News. “The statistics are growing at alarming rates.”
