The Church is working in some of the hardest to reach areas in Africa to tackle malaria. In recognition of such work the Province of Central Africa has conferred its highest honor, the Order of the Epiphany, on philanthropists Christopher Flowers and Neville Isdell for their work alongside the Church in tackling the disease during a service earlier this month.The honor was given by Archbishop Albert Chama in St Stephen's Anglican Church, in Lusaka, in recognition of their leadership and long-standing support for the work of the church in eliminating malaria.
It comes ahead of World Malaria Day on 25 April when churches will pray and hold special events to raise awareness of the disease that kills a child every five minutes in Africa. (Christian Post.)
