World Malaria Day
Friends,
The following is an email that Sue sent to some folks. Read it and the link. Then, will you join our family in providing a mosquito net for a family? What if Grace Fellowship were ever more part of God’s rescue plan around the world!!

Hi friends…
You all know I’ve recently read “The Hole In Our Gospel” and have been quite convicted by what I’ve read! I am more and more impressed with World Vision, an organization that reaches out with the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus to the hurting all over the world. The president of World Vision, Richard Stearns, is the author of the book.
Anyway, I’ve just found out that April 25 is World Malaria Day. Did you know that each year 800,000 children die as a result of Malaria? World Vision has launched a major campaign to combat malaria in these countries where it is still deadly. One major thing they are doing is getting out mosquito nets. How easy is that? I wanted to pass along this article (click on link below) and challenge us - what part can you and your family play in this?
Take a few minutes to read this link - it’s really good!
Thanks!
Susan
