BackNothing But NetsThe Missions Committee will bring to the church a special missions emphasis on July 19, 2009. The committee will invite contributions for the Nothing But Nets program, that purchases anti-malaria nets for Africans who are always at risk of catching the disease. Check out the links on this page for more information on Nothing But Nets, and prepare for the special offering on the 19th of July.
The People of the United Methodist Church
The people of the United Methodist Church are being invited to participate with the Nothing But Nets partners to help stop a deadly disease – malaria. In sub-Saharan Africa, a child dies every 30 seconds from this preventable disease. This is a statistic that the world must pay attention to according to Bishop Joao Somane Machado, leader of the United Methodist Church in Mozambique. “This is not an African issue,” said Machado. “It’s not only for poor countries. It’s global.” Just $10 buys a bed net, distributes it to a family and provides education on how to use it. By answering Jesus' call to "minister to the least of these who are members of our family," we can beat this awful disease and save future generations. So give a child the opportunity to live a life of health and happiness. Pray. Communicate the need. Buy a bed net. And save a life.
