Welcome Kerry Greenhill! 

New Field Coordinator, Imagine No Malaria Campaign 

by Myranda Hoffman

The Rocky Mountain Conference of The United Methodist Church is pleased to announce Rev. Kerry Greenhill has been selected for the position of Field Coordinator for the Imagine No Malaria campaign. She will be working with Conference leaders, including the Steering Committee of the Imagine No Malaria Campaign of the Rocky Mountain Conference, Bishop Elaine J.W. Stanovsky and Rev. Youngsook C. Kang, Conference Staff Administrator, to get the word out to churches across Utah, Wyoming and Colorado about the goals and impact of Imagine No Malaria. Oh behalf of the Steering Committee, Kerry will also be asking for individual and congregational involvement through education, fundraising and advocacy. 

The Rocky Mountain Conference adopted the Imagine No Malaria campaign as a major area of focus. Our goal as a Conference is to raise $1.2 million from both large and small donors. The goal is to have met this amount by World Malaria Day in April 2014. This campaign provides so much more than simply treated mosquito nets.  It will complement the success of the Nothing but Nets campaign by adding holistic prevention efforts, providing treatment through existing United Methodist facilities, educating community health works, and providing communication to raise public awareness of bed net usage and when to seek treatment.

When asked what drew her to the Imagine No Malaria campaign, Kerry responded, “I have always believed that one of the gifts of The United Methodist Church is its willingness to put faith into action in bold ways, making a concrete difference in the lives of people around the world. I see Imagine No Malaria as a true healing ministry, saving lives and offering a more abundant life to millions of people in Jesus’ name. No strings attached, just living out God’s love in tangible ways.” She hopes that every church in our Conference “will commit to a plan of education, generosity and advocacy that involves all their members and also reaches out to the wider community.”

Rev. Greenhill has been serving as Associate Pastor at Highlands United Methodist Church in Denver, CO since 2008. This is a one-year part-time position from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. Kerry is looking forward to working with local churches, districts and the Conference during that time.
