Dear Christ follower,

Every 6 seconds, a child under 10 years old dies of preventable causes.

Preventable.

Many of these deaths could have been stopped if the right medicines were on-hand.

But for many of the most vulnerable children around the world, basic medicine is just not available. And the COVID-19 pandemic makes the situation even more urgent.

These are children who...

Are living in extreme poverty
Are malnourished with weak immune systems
Are suffering from curable diseases
Are clinging to life and just waiting for hope to come through medical help

You can find these little ones in places like remote clinics and refugee camps where basic medicines are often lacking. As a result, they suffer needlessly. Some even die.

No one is more precious to God than a child.

In fact, it was Jesus who called the children to Himself and blessed them.

It's for the children suffering so greatly and unnecessarily that I'm writing to you today…so they can receive the emergency medicine they need to survive.

The situation is so urgent that a generous donor has put forward a $6,000 match to double your gift today to send emergency medicine to children in need. Especially to those living where COVID-19 could spike at any time.

And we must move swiftly for their sake, because any portion of the match not met will be lost… and that means fewer cries for relief answered.

Every $1 DOUBLES to send 2x the
life-saving medicine.

Send Medicines to Children Now

Jesus tells us in Luke 10:27, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself."

That's why I'm urgently asking for you to love your neighbors around the world… as together we move swiftly to save sick men, women, and children with life-saving medicines.

For example, $40 can heal 2 children, so now your DOUBLED gift of….

$40 provides healing for 4 children.
$60 provides healing for 6 children.
$100 provides healing for 10 children.

But even more importantly, your gift will also demonstrate the love of Christ. Because when you provide treatment in Africa, the Middle East, and around the world, you do so in the name of Jesus.

So please give generously to help care for children like 9-year-old Kentia who was admitted to a Medical Teams International hospital with a severe case of malaria.

Her mother wept over her frail body, not knowing whether the medicine being administered to her daughter through an IV drip would work in time.

"I thought my child would die soon," her mother shared.

And if Kentia hadn't received life-saving medicine as quickly as she did, she could have died. But because friends like you gave generously to make sure the medicine Kentia needed was available, she not only survived but is also on her way to a full recovery!

Tragically, other children's stories happening right now may end differently if the $6,000 Matching Grant is not met in full.

Many people don't realize that a child dies every 6 seconds from a treatable illness like malaria. That's why your gift today – DOUBLED up to $6,000 – is so critical to bring life-saving medicine to the most at-risk children like Kentia.

Please give as generously as you can today – knowing it will have DOUBLE the impact to help save the lives of desperately sick children around the world!

May God bless you for partnering with us today – to meet this urgent need to save children.

Thank you for your generosity and compassion.
