A team of 35 United Methodist clergy and laity from the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church will be distributing life saving bed nets in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa as part of the Nothing But Nets campaign to prevent the spread of malaria. This blog, written by Will Reed, a team member, will chronicle their journey which begins November 7 and will end November 17.
