Grace Lutheran Church in Waterloo

Vacation Bible School Mission Project
"Nets" Protection for African Children

Grace Lutheran Church, Waterloo, had an exciting Vacation Bible School from August 4-7 using Friendship Trek material from CPH. The mission project chosen for the VBS was purchasing mosquito nets imbedded with insect repellant to be used over children's beds. Each year thousands of African children die from the bites of mosquitoes carrying malaria. Mosquito nets are a low cost effective way of saving lives. We thank God for the generosity of the children, their families and members of Grace who raised over $350 towards the project. Through Christian Children's Fund, these monies will be used to purchase $7 mosquito nets for children in Mozambique which is on the southeastern coast of Africa.
