Keeping the needs of others, especially those in a continent half a world away, front and center in our congregations can be challenging. Coming up with new and creative ways to engage and keep our members focused on causes, like the ELCA Malaria Campaign may seem like a daunting task and it is if you're going it alone.
Fortunately, as a synod, which means "walk together," we can share ideas, triumphs and missteps to help us build up our ministries and be more successful with our outcomes.
The Southern Ohio Synod Malaria Team has a few new resources for you as your congregation moves forward with its efforts to help eradicate malaria.
