As of February 1 the Southeastern Iowa Synod has raised $670,000 for the ELCA Malaria Campaign! The Synod SWAT Team is ready and eager to help congregations participate in this campaign. We are still working towards reaching our synod's goal of 100% participation from congregations.
World Malaria day is April 25 and the ELCA is encouraging all congregations to set aside April 27 as World Malaria Sunday.
Offerings from World Malaria Sunday will support the Lutheran Malaria Program in Namibia, which is about launch.

New From ELCA World Hunger
Are you looking for ways to educate your congregation about hunger and poverty this Lent? ELCA World Hunger has three new resources available for all age groups that can be applied in various settings. The resources are free to download or order online. Find the new resources and more online. 
Into the Wild: A Lenten Liturgy and Intergenerational Study on Hunger
This five-part program follows the story of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness and explores what it means to live out our faith in a world of hunger, suffering and hope. How does faith move Lutherans to respond to human needs, especially hunger? Each session is divided into small-group and large-group settings and can be adapted to fit your congregation's educational forums, workshops and mid-week gatherings. Download and print this resource along with a family discussion guide. Act 2Day 4Tomorrow
 This overnight program brings youth together to learn about the role they can play in eradicating hunger and poverty in the world. As the group takes part in the spiritual practice of fasting during the event, they will go through activities and times of reflection centered on seven faith practices. Each activity is designed for "in the moment" learning and reflection to help youth apply what they discover in their own congregations and communities. Order this free resource for the next youth lock-in. Order
