Did You Know You Saved a Life Today?
Did you know that you might have saved a life today for as little as $10? If you remember, when we were in Uganda in September, we went door to door in a couple of villages and handed out mosquito nets. Here in the USA, we don’t think much about the diseases that can be spread by mosquitoes, but in Uganda, it is a part of everyday life. Every night you go to bed without a net, you can be tormented with fear that tonight might just be the night that you are infected with Malaria by a mosquito. You can read more about how nets help with malaria by clicking here. The thank you notes are for YOU!
Thank You Letters
Here are comments from a few of the letters:
“I have a wife who was pregnant, but due to malaria fever, the fetus was removed (aborted naturally). But I thank God that since we started sleeping in our net, together with my wife, the fever is now nowhere. I thank you so much Show Mercy, may God bless you. Yours faithfully, Prossy Nakamanya”
“I am so happy for the team that came to Uganda . Because they helped us so much with mosquito nets. Our village is full of mosquitoes which attack and cause malaria on too many people, young and old. Many people have died because of the disease, but now we have nets to help. Let the mighty Lord enlarge your border around the world. Yours in love, Lubwama James”
“Show Mercy helped me so much because according to my age, I couldn’t afford buying a net. I am 75 years old, but I thank God who provides to you money and love to us. I did not have any net but the mosquitoes were coming to me every night and the hospital was my home. But I thank God because now I am ok and since I was given a net, I have not experienced any kind of fever. Your Sincerely, Pheibe Nakato”
"My name is Margaret. I live at Gganda Village. I am 65 years of age. I thank God who heard my cry and answered my prayers. I used to be attacked by malaria fever which is caused by the mosquitoes. Now I am sleeping under a mosquito net and I am free from Malaria. God bless you Show Mercy.”
Again we want to thank all of you for your prayers and financial support. We are very excited about all the incredible possibilities and opportunities that are before us. We are excited about continuing to rescue and love on more people around the world. Will you continue to join with us as we reach out in love, one child at a time? Together, we can make a difference. Our plan has and will continue to be about partnering with people that have a desire to express God’s love to the poor in word and deed.
