World Malaria Day April 25--Start planning your congregation's activities today!

World Malaria Day is April 25, offering us an opportunity to do something significant for the ELCA Malaria Campaign. Five years ago we started this campaign, dreamed big with our Lutheran companion churches and partners, and set out to raise $15 million by 2015 for programs to fight malaria. The time to make this dream a reality is now.

Together, we have already raised more than 90 percent of our goal. We are looking to you and members of this church to help the ELCA Malaria Campaign reach the $15 million mark.

Thanks to the faithful support of people like you, the ELCA Malaria Campaign is currently at work with Lutheran companion churches and partners in 13 African countries. We have had great success, but we’re not done yet. We need your support to reach our goal and ensure all of the malaria programs will be fully funded.

Will you join thousands of ELCA members across this church and millions of people around the world in taking action? Please consider observing this day by taking a special offering for the ELCA Malaria Campaign Sunday, April 26, 2015. Special World Malaria Day resources will help you activate your congregation in learning about malaria and the ELCA Malaria Campaign.

Our time is now. Together, we can touch lives and make a lasting impact. Use this bulletin insert to announce your participation in World Malaria Day 2015.
