URGENT: Children plead for emergency medical relief

Act now to help meet a $850,000 goal to bring life-saving medical relief to sick children in the midst of the worldwide pandemic.

View this email in your browser 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 by something as simple as medical gauze or sterile syringes. But for many vulnerable children around the world, basic supplies are just not available. And the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic makes the situation even more urgent.   These are children who... Are living in extreme poverty Are clinging to life and just waiting for hope to come through medical help Are malnourished with weak immune systems Are suffering from curable diseases You can find these little ones in places like remote clinics and refugee camps where basic medical supplies 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… They need help and hope. Right now. And you can help meet an urgent $850,000 goal to give up to 34,000 children the emergency supplies they need to survive. At this very moment, tens of thousands of dollars' worth of medical supplies have already been donated to Medical Teams International to help children affected by war and extreme poverty… and who live in areas where COVID-19 could spike at any time. But many of these items are just sitting… waiting to be shipped to the places where children are in emergency need of medical help. 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 ,"Love your neighbor as yourself." Every $1 ships $58 worth of life-saving medical supplies to help heal up to 34,000 children. Send Medical Supplies to Children Now That's why I'm urgently asking you to love your neighbors around the world… as together we move swiftly to save sick men, women, and children with critical medical supplies. Every $1 you give to help meet this goal will ship $58 of medical supplies including syringes, IVs, sutures, gauze, birthing kits, and other essential life-saving medical equipment. In other words, every dollar you give will make a massive impact. For example… $40 will ship $2,320 of lifesaving medical supplies to children. $60 will ship $3,480 of lifesaving medical supplies to children. $100 will ship $5,800 of lifesaving medical supplies to children. But even more importantly, your gift will also demonstrate the love of Christ. Because when you provide care 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 medical equipment 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. Many people don't realize that a child dies every 6 seconds from a treatable illness like malaria. That's why your gift today – which will have 58 times the impact – is so critical to ship life-saving medical supplies to at-risk children like Kentia. Please give as generously as you can today to help meeting this urgent $850,000 goal – knowing it will have 58x the impact to help save the lives of  up to 34,000 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.
