At Samaritan’s Purse, our mission is to equip the Church with the resources needed to mobilize an effective response to the greatest pandemic of our generation.

The first step to reduce the spread of HIV is education. But we cannot stop there, because real, lasting change comes through the transformative power of Christ, demonstrated by the compassion of His people.

Each lesson begins with a devotion, and Scripture is used throughout to reinforce God’s plan for sex and marriage. Includes a manual, flipchart, and illustrated storyboards.

Our One Love educational resources are designed to help couples and those considering marriage to build healthy relationships that will last a lifetime.
