  • Annual Report 2015 to the United Methodist Church
    Annual Report 2015 to the United Methodist Church 9 March 2016 Great progress has been made in the fight against malaria but gains remain fragile Thanks to all partners involved in the global fight against malaria, great progress has been made in the last fifteen years. New methods of testing, the widespread distribution of insecticide-treated nets and the introduction of Artemisinin-based combination therapies have led to a 48 percent drop in malaria deaths between 2000 and 2014. The number of lives saved by malaria treatment and prevention has grown steadily each year. Children under the age of five are the most vulnerable to malaria, because their immune systems are still developing effective resistance to the disease. Pregnant women are also vulnerable, because their immune systems are weakened during pregnancy. Protecting young children and pregnant women is paramount to any disease strategy. The innovation of a long-lasting insecticidal mosquito net, at a relatively low cost, has greatly expanded protection for children and families. With more than 548 million mosquito nets distributed, people at risk for malaria who gained access to mosquito nets grew from 7 percent in 2005 to 36 percent in 2010 and 56 percent in 2014 in countries where the Global Fund invests. Mosquito nets are just one tool, however, and a comprehensive approach to reducing deaths from malaria includes other preventive measures such as indoor residual spraying. More important, access to artemisinin-based combination therapies and to rapid diagnostic tests has improved dramatically. Cases of malaria treated rose 19 percent to hit cumulative total of 515 million over the last year.

  • Imagine No Malaria Impact Update
    IMAGINE NO MALARIA IMPACT UPDATE 1 To our supporters, How can I say thanks for the many ways that you have responded to cries of our brothers and sisters in sub-Saharan Africa? It is with a heart full of thanksgiving that I celebrate the reduction of death and suffering from malaria. We have come this far because you have responded to the call to eliminate malaria as a disease of poverty. We have joined hands with worldwide partners. We have made tremendous progress. But, the fight is not over. Please continue to give generously and to pray for success. Together we will carry the light to the end of the road home. Peace and Blessings, Bishop Thomas Bickerton, Chair Global Health Initiative of The United Methodist Church BRING CHANGE. MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. 2 ABOUT IMAGINE NO MALARIA IMAGINE NO MALARIA IS AN EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH TO END PREVENTABLE DEATHS FROM MALARIA IN AFRICA. God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20 NIV OUR PARTNERS The United Methodist Church has collaborated with world - class allies in the fight against malaria. We bring our distinctive history of mission in Africa to this fight and our trust and friendship with those most affected. This is a powerful alignment of religious and secular organizations. “We are proud to be your partner in this campaign to end the world’s worst killer of children. We believe the campaign cannot succeed without you.” - Bill Gates Sr.

    1 Outreach Ministries In Christ, By Christ, Transforming Being the World Transformed Outreach - not an addendum to worship - it is worship! Mission Slide Show is Here: http://nccumc.org/outreach/missionslides/ 2 Read Isaiah 58:1-12 (The Message – Eugene Peterson (Best) Worship … God never intended for worship to reside solely within the realm of the temple, the place of the sanctuary. God never intended for worship to be an activity that was exclusively the domain of liturgy and icons and religious formula. God never meant for worship to be wholly contained by walls of brick and mortar. For God, worship has always been defined as that act we do with our very lives, reaching into the world to proclaim life and bring hope, reaching into the world to rebuild and renovate and make the community livable again! That is why we are here today. That is why we engage in this activity we call “missions.” Simply, so that we might better worship the God who refuses to remain locked in formulas and creeds and the forms of religion. We are here so that we might worship a God who always comes and walks where his creatures walk, out there, out in the world. * NC Conference Outreach Pages … will contain the latest updates of mission opportunities, information, and needs of our neighbors both near and far.
