Synopsis:

The victims of the aids pandemic in Africa are far more numerous than the dead and dying. Millions of orphans and widows are trying to survive in extreme poverty and social oppression. James Cantelon, a Canadian pastor, has challenged churches in Africa—and in Canada and the United States—to unite in a common cause to bring relief to suffering of intolerable magnitude. When God Stood Up is the story of a remarkable journey that affirms God's presence in the most ravaged places on Earth. Millions of our fellow human beings are depending on us to be "God's hand extended." Read about their stories and be humbled.
