Imagine No Malaria Lenten Devotional
With the Conference’s emphasis on Imagine No Malaria, this opportunity for daily Lenten devotionals may be one way that we individually and collectively stay focused on the reason why it is so important to beat this dreaded disease.
 
Every day, thousands of families in Africa lose loved ones because of malaria. As we celebrate the season of Lent, we invite you to be renewed through the Imagine No Malaria Lenten Devotional. (Sign up for the daily devotionals at http://www.imaginenomalaria.org/site/c.4dIBILOnGaIQE/b.6593819/k.63C2/Imagine_No_Malaria_Lenten_Devotional.htm?tr=y&auid=7867024 ). This spiritual resource will be sent via e-mail and provide a daily centering moment for each of the 40 days of Lent, connecting each of us with the people of Africa.
