Welcome to His Nets!Every 60 seconds, a child dies from malaria. The disease has been eradicated in the West but is still rampant in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, the most cost-effective way to prevent malaria is to use insecticide-treated bed nets. So for the past nine years, His Nets has been distributing nets without cost to receiving families, with priority distribution to pregnant women and families with young children. As of May 2013, we have distributed, with help from partners like you, over 135,000 insecticide-treated bed nets in 20 different countries! The New Testament says that Jesus spent most of his time teaching, feeding, and healing. This combination of activities spoke to the basic needs of people to be healthy both physically and spiritually. For centuries, Christian ministers and missionaries have continued to do these same things at home and around the world. For the most part, the need has not changed since Jesus walked this earth. What has changed is that for the first time in human existence, we now have the technology to prevent many diseases that ravage hundreds of millions of lives. One $6.00 bed net saves two lives. It is such a simple formula and highlights the fact that in the face of a devastating disease like malaria, one person can make a difference!Please look around our website and discover where His Nets is already at work and how you can be involved in the next distribution project.
