We will be making history on June 1, 2006 in Oakland, California with the release of our first CD, "HEALING IS FOR YOU," a collaborative production which has some inspiring gospel songs as well as messages that promote HIV testing, education, prevention, care and treatment.

The CD features local African American gospel musicians, preachers, choir members and songwriters-some of who are HIV postive people. The CD is our first attempt to bring gospel music and HIV education & prevention along with care and treatment together.

We realize that if we are to raise more awareness about the HIV disease in the Black Community, we must first engage the black church. And if we are to engage the black church, we must align ourselves with one of its core elements - gospel music.

To help accomplish our engagement process, the AMBASSADORS FOR CHANGE have worked diligently for the last eight months to create an inspiring and educational CD that will have a positive impact in the black church, the black community and the world. It is our sincere belief that this CD will encourage testing; and will encourage those who test positive to go into care. We declared that HIV will not always be! And if it is to be so we must become active participants in its elimination.
