World Malaria Day is April 25

Got this in an email from Compassion International today:

Malaria kills 1 million people each year. Most who die of this treatable, preventable disease are children. A gift to Compassion’s Malaria Intervention Fund will help Compassion-assisted children and their families receive the resources they so desperately need to fight this deadly disease, including:

•mosquito nets to protect children from mosquito bites
•malaria prevention education
•access to malaria medical treatment for those struggling with the disease

A little goes a long way:
•$30 will provide three mosquito bed nets.
•$50 will provide five mosquito bed nets.
•$100 will provide 10 mosquito bed nets.

I once bought a mosquito net for $30, so this looks like a good deal to me. Please donate at the Compassion International website to provide mosquito nets for children in need.

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:17-18

    God bless you for forwarding this important information. Every little bit helps a whole lot. Of course, any one at any time can sponsor a Compassion child of their very own. Praise be to God for His awesome ministry.

    Keep up the good work my friend. Cd.

    There are no coincidences for those who are in Christ Jesus — I just learned that YOU are a new level 2 advocate/volunteer for Compassion International. Praise be to God (and welcome to our team!)
