   “Malaria kills enough people to fill two jumbo jets every day.” – Bishop
   John R. Schol.


Bishop among ‘champions’ against malaria

   NEW YORK (UMNS)—United Methodist Bishop Thomas Bickerton has spent the past
   five years telling people how an investment as small as $10 can help reduce
   the number of malaria deaths in Africa. Today, he and other “champions” in
   the fight against malaria – including a well-known singer and an NBA star
   – were recognized for their efforts by the Nothing But Nets organization.

Imagine No Malaria fervor contagious

   SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (UMNS) – The United Methodist Church's enthusiastic
   anti-malaria fight has been netting results, Interpreter Magazine reports.
   “What has captured the imagination is that the challenge, while daunting, is
   doable and attainable,” says Paul E. Black, director of communications for
   the Illinois Great Rivers Annual (regional) Conference.

United Methodist church goes Hollywood

   UTOPIA, Texas (UMNS) – On a dry, dusty day, a camera crew is pumping cool
   air into the 130-year-old Utopia United Methodist Church. Pastor Gerald
   Harvey won’t be preaching at his church on this day. Instead, he has joined
   his congregation as an extra in the film, “Seven Days in Utopia,” a golf
   drama starring Academy Award-winning actor Robert Duvall.

What would Jesus do (about malaria)?

   KASUMGAMI, Democratic Republic of Congo (UMNS) – Mama Rose Nambing has lost
   her entire family, seven children and her husband, to malaria. The Rev.
   Larry Hollon says he can't help but think Jesus was speaking about Mama Rose
   and others who share her experience when he told his followers to care for
   the sick. Hollon, the top executive at United Methodist Communications,
   shares how Jesus' followers are joining the fight against the disease in The
   Huffington Post.

Imagine No Malaria? There's an app for that

   NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UMNS) – The church’s Imagine No Malaria campaign now
   offers a new mobile application that repels mosquitoes using sound instead
   of spray.

   When used, the app emits three different high-pitched frequencies that serve
   as a deterrent for mosquitoes. It's now available for download on the
   Android platform at a cost of $.99, and 70 percent of the proceeds benefit
   the fight against malaria in Africa. In addition, the app provides
   information about the disease, and a link to ImagineNoMalaria.org for those
   who wish to donate to the cause.
   The Imagine No Malaria app was developed by Pico Brothers in conjunction
   with Ad Hope.
