Help us fund malaria nets.

According to WHO estimates, there were 212 million cases of malaria in 2015. The African Region continues to carry a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2015, the region was home to 90% of malaria cases and 92% of malaria deaths. Infection is particularly harsh on the young, old and those with already existing health issues. Due to impoverishment, many don't have the necessary resources to prevent and treat infections.

The long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) provide an effective barrier and protection from the mosquito bites that cause the infection. They are a form of personal protection that has been shown to reduce malaria illness, severe disease, and death due to malaria in endemic regions. Develop Africa helps address this need by providing nets to vulnerable individuals in need.

A reduction in deaths by malaria will make it possible for more people, who would have died, to take part in growing their community's economy. Nets also eliminate the loss in productivity that happens when people fall sick. Families will also not need to divert scarce resources towards malaria medication, remedies, and hospitalization. By reducing infection and death, we uplift the people, communities, and nations of Africa.

The Backpackers DTS is a Discipleship Training School that powerfully combines the pursuits of backpacking and missions. The chief focus of the DTS is to see people become disciples of Jesus who love God with all their heart, obey God radically from a posture of love, and make disciple-making disciples. We spend approximately half of the 13 week lecture phase in the Rocky Mountain backcountry (we do mostly backpacking, though we typically spend a week rock climbing and a week whitewater rafting as well). On our trail weeks, the teaching takes place in the outdoor classroom, and everyone shares responsibilities in running camp. We explore topics such as the Word of God, Hearing God’s voice, the Father-Heart of God, the Nature & Character of God, Holy Spirit, Missions, Disciple-making Movements, ect. Backcountry experience is not required for potential students, but a desire to pursue intimacy with God deep in the beauty of His creation is!

The weekly schedule of the Exploration phase will include:

12 hours of teaching and feedback: There is a different speaker and topic each week, and on trail weeks, the speaker will backpack/raft/climb/camp along with us and teach in the outdoor classroom.
8 hours of worship & intercession: Experience various expressions of worship, and cry out together with God’s heart for the lost.
8 hours of serving our community in work duties: As followers of Jesus, we want to develop a servant-hearted attitude and lifestyle. Everyone will receive a small, daily duty at base or in camp, and once a week we will all tackle larger community projects together.
4 hours in outreach preparation: Learn about South-Asian culture and language, and intercede for future ministry.
2 hours in small groups: Divide into same-gender groups to discuss deeper topics and process weekly learning.
1 hour in one-on-ones: Process individual growth and discipleship with a DTS staff or school leader.
10+ hours are available for learning outdoor skills or free-time depending on the week’s location.

We are John and Susie. We met in college our freshman year and started dating during a study abroad program in Africa. From the beginning of our relationship we shared a passion for service and international development work. Early in our relationship, we realized we ‘sharpened’ each other. We encouraged each other to take all our ideas of bringing heaven to earth from an ideology to a reality.  Even while we were college we admired and respected Food for the Hungry as a development organization and found that their vision and mission of holistic ministry resonated with our hearts.

We are blessed to have the opportunity to serve with Food for the Hungry in Southeast Asia. Food for the Hungry began working in Southeast Asia following the tsunami, initially to provide relief assistance to children and families who survived the tragedy. In response to the long-term need for rebuilding and rehabilitation, Food for the Hungry has committed to help communities and leaders discover sustainable ways to improve their living and know and embrace the love of God.

We are both so excited and blessed to be serving in areas we are passionate about in Asia!

January 12, 2010, is a day the world, particularly Haiti, will never forget. Late in the afternoon, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck the region, leaving total destruction in its path. Hundreds of thousands lost their lives. Many more were left injured, homeless, and hopeless. Of those remaining, a great number were children.

Children living at the Source of Light Center orphanage in Haiti are in great need of sponsorship. In partnership with the Haiti Baptist Convention, Hungarian Baptist Aid and the Baptist World Alliance, Virginia Baptists are committed to restoring hope and a future to as many children as possible.

Children living at the orphanage are in great need of sponsorship and here is how you can help:

  * $35 per month—Daily Sponsorship (food, daily care, housing expenses)
  * $20 per month—Education Sponsorship (books, uniforms, school supplies)
  * $15 per month—Health Sponsorship (vitamins, medical exams, medication)
