Sunday School News

“Nothing but Net”
Little Things Make Big Differences

One bite from a mosquito that carries the parasite that causes malaria can be deadly, and in Africa, a child dies from malaria every thirty seconds. Malaria is a global epidemic and the Lutheran World Relief has teamed up with the LCMS to form the Lutheran Malaria Initiative to help end the 1 million deaths a year in Africa by 2015 .

This Spring’s Sunday School Mission project is to learn about malaria and raise funds to buy mosquito nets. $10 buys an insecticide-treated net and trains a family on its use. We hope to raise $200 which will purchase 20 nets through the Initia-tive. More information can be found at: www.lutheranmalaria.org/site
Please pray for those who suffer from malaria and consider giving to this worthwhile cause, because little things do make a difference!
