Leader News: June 2015

May 20, 2015 | Leader News By NT-NL Staff

Image of an African woman and a young child. The woman appears to be seated and is looking up and smiling brightly at the child, who appears to be standing behind her.  The child is looking at the camera. Text reads: "World Malaria Day 2015. Help make malaria history. ELCA.org/malaria." The ELCA logo is on the lower right corner of the image.World Malaria Day 2015

The people of NT-NL have now raised $152,046.33 out of our commitment of $160,000. We have less than $8,000 to go!

World Malaria Day was April 25. We chose to observe World Malaria Day at a later date, so we could give it the attention it  deserves (since we were just a tad “overscheduled” on that day!) The Malaria Team has suggested that congregations make a final push on this campaign on Rally Day, or you can choose another date that will work best for your congregation.

We are so close to meeting our goal! Let’s help make malaria history! Find more information and resources to use in your congregation at ntnl.org/malariaday2015.
