I don’t think a parent should have to worry about their child getting sick or dying from a mosquito bite.

We can be in church every Sunday and we can sing our worship songs, we can attend our LIFE groups and we can have our daily devotions, but what does any of that really mean to the woman who has lost five of her eleven children and her husband to malaria…a preventable and treatable disease?

Could it be that our worship isn’t really worship at all if our hands and feet don’t take us into the needs of people?  Could it be that the best way we can show God his worth to us is by showing those in critical need our love for them?  Could it be that the way we demonstrate our love for God is by demonstrating our love to those who are laying on the side of the roads of our lives?

It seems that there is a list of countless pandemic diseases and needs in our world.  Everywhere we turn there is someone in need.  There is no doubt someone across the street from us and someone around the world from us who needs to experience our worship of God in a physical and practical way.

I don’t think a parent should have to worry about their child getting sick or dying from a mosquito bite…so I paid for some insecticide treated mosquito nets as an expression of my worship of God!
