Bishop challenges Hoosiers with March Madness for Missions
March is the month that Indiana Bishop Mike Coyner challenges Hoosier United Methodists to carry their enthusiasm for basketball nets into a March Madness for Missions by supporting two United Methodist mission projects - Nothing But Nets and the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund.
These two killer diseases of poverty, Malaria and HIV/AIDS, can be eliminated from humanity, and United Methodists are determined to help stamp them out.
The first is the Nothing But Nets campaign to purchase $10 mosquito repellent nets to protect children from getting Malaria. Bishop Mike asks every United Methodist family to purchase at least one net from our Nothing But Nets campaign. You can do that by credit card on-line at www.nothingbutnets.net or by sending the money through your local church to the Advance Special Mission Nothing But Nets (UMCOR Advance #982015) project.
The second is a call for each United Methodist congregation to donate at least $1 per member for the Global AIDS Fund to help eliminate the HIV/AIDS epidemic that is killing so many people, especially in Africa. Bishop Mike asks each of our 1,260 congregations to receive a special offering sometime during March for the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund (UMCOR Advance #982345). For local church and Annual Conference credit, put your gift in the offering plate one Sunday in March.
Please join Bishop Mike in a March Madness for Missions. Let's March Against the Madness of Malaria and HIV/AIDS, and let's make a difference in our world.
