Members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) have contributed $10 million to support the ELCA Malaria Campaign in their effort to raise $15 million by the end of 2015.  

Through the campaign, ELCA members have joined with companion Lutheran churches and partners in 13 African countries to prevent and treat malaria, educate communities about the disease and more. Shepherd of the Valley has supported this effort through Vacation Bible School offerings and youth sales of Knots for Nets.

"We have been overwhelmed by the motivation and hard work of synods and volunteers, the creativity of ELCA congregations and the generosity of ELCA members in reaching this milestone of $10 million," said Jessica Nipp Hacker, ELCA Malaria Campaign coordinator. "The ELCA is thankful to everyone who has contributed to the success of the campaign. Every gift makes a difference."
