Change the World - World Malaria Day

April 23-25 is Change the World weekend. April 22 is Earth Day, and April 25 is World Malaria Day. Malaria is a deadly disease in many countries where sanitary conditions and lack of medical care and vaccines are the norm. We can help! Let's raise enough money to send at least 30 bed nets to Africa (I'm sure we could do more than that). April 24 is World Malaria Day Sleepout. We have a confirmation retreat that weekend, but we may plan a sleep later in May. But for now, break your piggy banks, ask your family and friends to give to this worthy cause! Bring your money this weekend to Crossroads, Sunday School, or youth group or next week to Crossroads or Sunday School. Each bed net costs $10. Let's see how many we can send. Watch this video about Malaria in Africa...
