"I need Africa more than Africa needs me...."
Africa has been on my heart for a while now. So, when the opportunity arose to do a project with Mocha Club, I knew it was something I needed to do.
Mocha Club is a community-based website where members can start a team and invite friends to join them in giving $7 a month - the cost of 2 mochas - to support a project inAfrica . Mocha Club's vision is to provide a way for people who don't have hundreds or thousands of dollars to make a difference in Africa .
$7 may not seem like much but in Africa it can feed one person for a month. Or educate 2 children for a school term. It can save one person from Malaria. And it can provide clean water to seven people for a year. Amazing!
A generation of parents is gone. The children are left with aging grandmothers that are often widowed with no means of support. In James 1:27 we are told that pure and undefiled religion that is acceptable to God is to visit orphans and widows in their distress and to keep yourself unstained by the world. I can't stand before Jesus and claim ignorance now.
I would love for you to join me in blogging about Africa. I would love to have you join me on a team. Let me know what you think--either in the comments or by email. And come back December 1st to see what Mocha Club is doing to change pity into partnership.
Grace. Peace. And all of God's blessings....
