A Word from the President of the Board/ List of DirectorsI have served on the board for three years now and it is a real honor to be current president. HIS Nets provides an opportunity to make a real and visible difference in the lives of “fragile people” in the world. As a Christian, I believe God has called us to minister to the most vulnerable in our world. HIS Nets provides me the opportunity to be the healing hands of Christ.Great care and stewardship is given to handling the resources HIS Nets receives but it is really quite simple: the money you give buys nets. Through the experience and contacts of our Executive Director, T Thomas, the nets are distributed through global contacts. Nets purchased are delivered to the families who are most in need. When it comes to malaria, something can be done to set families free from the devastating affects of this terrible disease and HIS Nets is doing it effectively. Join me and give $6.00 to save two lives. Your gift will make a difference! Dr. Jimmy Lewis President of the Board HIS Nets, Inc.

| Putting a Face on Malaria |
Through the years His Nets has touched more than half a million lives. Numbers however cannot tell the entire story. Just a week ago I was in Ghana with a team to distribute nets east of Lake Volta, near the Togo border. 2,000 nets were given out in small towns & villages and in a school & a hospital. It was at that hospital on our last day of distribution that the work of His Nets gained a new face and a name. Rev. Timothy Wilson of the Ghana Baptist Convention had arranged the distributions and accompanied us to each site. As the week ended, he took our 8 person team to visit the pediatric ward of the local hospital. The head nurse told us that over 80% of the small patients were there because of malaria. To our surprise we recognized one little boy in the ward! His was Onesimus Wilson, the youngest son of our local coordinator! He had gone to the hospital with a high fever due to a malaria attack! His family had only just received an insecticide treated mosquito net from His Nets, but not before Onesimus contracted malaria. Happily we were able to purchase the medicine that “Oni” needed and he was feeling much better before we left. Statistics such as 10,000 people a day dying of malaria or one child every 30 seconds are just that: statistics. When it is someone you know, like Onesimus Wilson, then the fight against malaria becomes real. It becomes personal! Thank you for supporting His Nets and helping to save the lives of tens of thousands like Onesimus Wilson! -T Thomas Read Norman Transcript article |
