Baltimore Sun publishes IMA World Health Broken Silence editorial

Advising faith leaders on addressing violence

In June, IMA World Health, WeWillSpeakOut.US and Sojourners teamed up to release a report called Broken Silence: A Call for Churches to Speak Out. The report was based on a survey that LifeWay Research conducted among 1,000 US Protestant pastors.

The Baltimore Sun just published an editorial that I co-wrote with Sojourners President and Founder Jim Wallis and Amy Gopp, Director of Member Relations and Pastor Care at Church World Service.

We invite you to read this editorial, leave your comments, and share it so that we can continue spreading the word about this important research and the opportunity for our faith leaders to take responsible action to end sexual and domestic violence.

In partnership,

Rick Santos
President and CEO

Check out our editorial in the Baltimore Sun today!

IMA World Health: Safe Motherhood Kit Campaign

According to Chris Glass, Communications Officer

IMA World Health, www.imaworldhealth.org,

"It’s email based, essentially sending an eCard will help fund one of our programs.

(And) incidentally, it’s one the Bonds Meadow Rotary launched with us a couple years ago- there is a strong Westminster connection!"

Here is more information about the campaign…

Send an Email and Save a Life!

IMA World Health: Safe Motherhood Kit Campaign

Give the gift of a Safe Childbirth

In the developing world, a woman dies from pregnancy or childbirth every 60 seconds.

Fortunately, many of these deaths are preventable! Just $25 provides an IMA Safe Motherhood Kit™ to an expectant mother in countries like Haiti or DR Congo that do not have ready access to essential clean and sterile birthing supplies.

You can help! For every person who sends this eCard to their friends, a generous donor will give $1 to IMA World Health to build a Safe Motherhood Kit™ for an expectant mother.

Support this campaign today by sending a free eCard to your friends and family and encouraging them to spread the word.

You can make a difference in a woman’s life today with a simple email.

Note: The campaign will end on June 20th or when 5,000 people forward the eCard.
