World Malaria Sunday - April 26

Sunday, April 26th is World Malaria Sunday.  Churches across the United States will take a few moments during worship to take up a special offering for the Nothing But Nets Campaign (http://www.nothingbutnets.org/).  Each year 500 million people worldwide are affected by malaria - 900,000 children will die from the disease this year.  The good news is that malaria can be prevented with a simple, $10 bed net that keeps the mosquitoes away at night.  Next Sunday, consider giving a gift to this incredible ministry.  $10 is enough money to save the life of a child.
