By Faith
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible. Hebrews 11:1-3
Welcome

We will be linked to the Northern Illinois Conference United Methodist Men
, our districts as they come on line and the General Commission on United Methodist Men. Our District Presidents and their executive committees want to disciple men of our church and the un-churched.

The following Missions are endorsed by the Northern Illinois Conference United Methodist Men. We invite all the men of the Conference to join us in support of these missions. Check back in the coming weeks and months for updates, including Missions supported by specific districts.
Society of St. Andrew
The Society of St. Andrew is a grassroots, faith-based, hunger relief nonprofit working with all denominations to bridge the hunger gap between 96 billion pounds of food wasted every year in this country and the nearly 40 million Americans who live in poverty. We rely on support from donors, volunteers and farmers as we glean nutritious excess produce from farmers' fields and orchards after harvest and deliver it to people in need across the United States.

The Northern Illinois Conference Ranks 2nd in Giving to Meals for Millions
Haiti Tool Project
This project is sponsored by the North Central Jurisdiction of the United Methodist Men (NCJUMM).
This project is time sensitive. Our best result can be achieved while this tragedy is still on the hearts of our people. The tools will not ship until the appropriate time. They need food, water and medical supplies first. However, as we all struggle trying to find ways to help, now is the time to collect them.

 |  | Dear Leon,
Summertime is a wonderful opportunity to catch up with friends, family, and neighbors. During these hot summer days, why not spread the word about our cool Nothing But Nets campaign?
We’re spreading the word and asking you to help us recruit new supporters. The more people who know how easy it is to get involved and prevent malaria, the faster we can reach our goal of sending life-saving nets to refugees in Africa!
Can you help us reach 5,000 fans on Facebook and 500 followers on Twitter? When we reach our goal, we’ll send a Nothing But Nets prize to one Facebook fan and one Twitter follower selected at random. If you’re not a fan or follower yet -- hurry up and add yourself to the list so you can be eligible for the prize!
 Join our fanpage. We’ll be posting easy-to-send status updates to spread the word.

This year, we’ve asked you to host fundraisers for World Malaria Day, to join us on our City Tours, and to send messages of hope. You have always come through for us -- thank you! Now, please help us spread the buzz by asking your friends to join the Nothing But Nets NET-work!
Remember -- the more people in your NET-work who know how easy it is to get involved and prevent malaria -- the faster we’ll send nets and save lives to cover a continent!
Thanks,
The Nothing But Nets Team
