As you plan your church’s summer VBS, consider joining CMF missionaries serving in Ethiopia, Ivory Coast, Kenya and Tanzania in changing this reality.

Malaria is both preventable and treatable.

A mosquito-borne illness, malaria can be prevented with simple measures. CMF missionaries in Africa are able to purchase and distribute treated mosquito nets for $10 each. A treated net has been dipped in insecticide and repels mosquitoes for as long as 3 to 5 years. The family suspends the net from the ceiling over the bed where they sleep. The bed net provides a protective barrier against the mosquitoes at their most active time -- late evening to early morning. When nets are used within several homes, an entire community becomes safer ... even for those who do not have nets! However, the income for most families is so limited that even $10 is beyond their reach.

Lives are literally saved by these nets, providing a unique audience for hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ!

Our initial goal is to purchase and distribute 2,500 mosquito nets: $25,000. Join us in this project!

CMF will provide a 5-day PowerPoint and other materials to help the children at your VBS learn about the spiritual and physical needs of children in Africa, You can access these resources via our website, beginning April 15, or with a cd that we will mail to you.

Challenge your kids to take a bite out of malaria by saving lives for today and for eternity.
