World Malaria Day

Often the LC-MS gets accused of not actually caring about people, and being cold and distant.  And yet, we do more work to help the suffering throughout all the world than you can possibly imagine.  I have recently been assigned the work of a variety of projects in North Dakota, including the building of orphanages connected to Lutheran Schools in Kenya, Native American ministry, and also this project, the Lutheran Malaria Initiative.


"One child in Africa dies every 60 seconds from malaria. In a single 24-hour period—one day—1,440 people in Africa will succumb to this disease. World Malaria Day offers an opportunity to raise awareness of the devastating effects of this disease and encourage people to join in the worldwide effort to end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015."

On Wednesday, April 25—World Malaria Day—please join us in a moment of prayer at 2:40 p.m. as we consider the 1,440 Africans who die each day from malaria and remember in prayer all who suffer from malaria or will lose a child or other family member to the disease.
