Extension 26: Maubane Community Center, South Africa

There are so many ministries and so many needs that we could showcase here for Extension 26. I had several thoughts about what to highlight for May, then God made it clear. 

I have come to know and trust Lisa-Jo Baker by being a part of the launch team for her book, Surprised by Motherhood. She is originally from South Africa and her family is a big part of building a Community Center in Maubane, “Help finish building a kitchen in South Africa for mothers a world away and see motherhood and your own messy kitchen as anything but ordinary through her eyes.”
Before you tune out, or dismiss this, or go back to those dishes piled up high, please find out more about this life-changing project from Lisa-Jo herself

over and hear about this project from Lisa-Jo herself.
Offer what you have in hand, and join hands across the world. Each small part makes a big impact when added together.

Here’s the deal. We are not waiting until the 26th to give this month. We are imploring you to give today. Because Sunday is Mother’s Day and isn’t this the best way to have a meaningful Mother’s Day? Not to get but to give, and really then you get anyway, because…

“In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” –Acts 20:35


But here’s an added bonus! If you purchase one of three handmade necklaces from Krafty Kash, $12 will given to the Maubane Community Center. So you get a necklace, to keep or give away, and you impact this important project at the same time. 

We just purchased the “Mother” necklace. As you wear it may it remind you of all those mothers across the globe who give just like you do. You give to your family everyday and you give to mothers across the sea too. That’s what you do and you are strong because of it. This world is different, and better, because you are in it.
Alyssa Wagner Photography
Happy, almost, Mother’s Day to you! And to them. What a beautiful day it will be.:) 

Thank you for considering this worthy Extension 26 project. Please consider sharing this post or tweeting about it, and tagging it #extension26. We’d love to hear if you are joining us!

MEET KATIE

Hi, I'm Katie (a Modern Martha, wife, and mom to five). I'm so glad you're here! Let's enjoy some cut-to-the-chase conversation over hot or iced tea, as we find grace in the unraveling of life (together). Let's exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom as we settle into our position as a doer and a daughter—created by a Loving Father.
