Open House Ministries
In lieu of an admission charge, please bring $3 or a personal care item (shampoo, toothpaste, deodorant, diapers, etc.) to benefit Open House Ministries in Vancouver. Open House helps homeless families get back on their feet again by providing shelter, counseling, addiction recovery services, and assistance with job skills, and has graciously let us use their facility for May’s performance.

Malaria Prevention
Every 30 seconds, an African child dies of Malaria–that’s over a million deaths a year, making it the leading cause of death for African children under the age of five. Because of the extreme level of poverty and lack of education, 90% of malaria deaths occur in Africa.

A mosquito net is one of the least expensive and most effective means of minimizing this risk for African children. A net costs less than $10 to buy, and this month Oasis Christian Center is having a malaria net drive. We invite you to join them in their goal of providing 10 nets through World Vision, who will use the money raised for the purchase of mosquito nets in six African countries that are of greatest need. (You can also learn more by taking this online malaria quiz from Compassion International.) We’ll also be accepting donations for this project at our May program.

See you May 17!
