UPPER ST. CROIX PARISH-WIDE MISSION COLLECTING FOR IMAGINE NO MALARIA THROUGH MAY 2016

Missions representatives from all four churches met to discuss mission opportunities that the entire parish could work on together.  The first parish-wide mission we will be supporting is IMAGINE NO MALARIA.

Good News: Malaria is 100% Preventable

Unlike many other diseases that are awaiting a cure, malaria was eliminated in the U.S. in the 1950s. However, in Sub-Saharan Africa, malaria continues to kill a child every 2 minutes.

But, there is hope! Imagine No Malaria is part of a global partnership and together with our partners; our generation can beat malaria once and for all. By improving the ways people fight the disease using bed nets, providing access to diagnostic tests and medicine, draining standing water, and improving sanitation we have already helped reduce malaria deaths by more than half. Imagine No Malaria combines integrated health infrastructure, education and advocacy to address death and the debilitating effects of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.

Additional information on how you can support this live saving cause will be provided at each church.
