November is “Imagine No Malaria” Campaign Month--

Imagine No Malaria is a $75 million effort of The United Methodist Church to eliminate malaria deaths in Africa by 2015. It is a comprehensive effort to deliver a sustainable solution to the malaria burden in sub-Sahara Africa. The great work of Nothing But Nets will continue as part of Imagine No Malaria. Mosquito nets remain a very important tool, and when combined with education, communications and improved treatment, we will achieve a sustainable victory over malaria.
 
The Minnesota Annual Conference has set a goal of saving 180,000 lives at a cost of

$1.8 million. An anonymous donor has promised to match all pledges made to the

campaign by the end of 2011. What better way to maximize our impact as a congregation and a conference! Imagine No Malaria has something for everyone--how many lives can you save?

1. Make a gift -- $10 will buy a net to protect an entire family in Africa. And, $1,000 provides enough resources to protect 100 lives.

2.   Monthly Pledge -- Will you make a small sacrifice each month to help save lives? A simple gift of $28, less than $1 per day, is a great place to start.   Just $28 per month will save 100 lives!
