LAKE FOREST, Calif. (AP) — One of America's largest evangelical churches is continuing its nearly decade-long outreach to AIDS victims.

On Monday's World Aids Day, Southern California's Saddleback Church is offering free and confidential HIV testing.

Saddleback co-founder Kay Warren and her husband, Pastor Rick Warren, highlighted the church's AIDS ministry in the U.S. and Africa at Sunday services. Kay Warren said this year's goal is to eliminate the stigma that many people attach to the disease.

Saddleback Church hosted the second annual Global Summit on Aids and the Church in 2006, with speakers including then-Senator Barack Obama.
