GET INVOLVED! Want to do more to help make a difference in the lives of our children in South Africa?  Whether you are an individual, family, organization, church group,
or a workplace you can find a way to make a difference.


VOLUNTEER
Nothing is more rewarding than helping others in need.  Giving of your time for just an hour, a day, or even more not only makes a difference in others' lives, but yours as well.  Many blessings are received through volunteering.

Opportunities include:
  • Assist with monthly Mission Yard Sales – held the 2nd Saturday (and Friday before) and last Saturday of each month (with the exception of November & December) from 7am-noon. Help is needed weekly for pricing items, sorting, picking up items, and assisting on the days of the sale. Extra hands are always needed the day before yard sales, as well as each morning of the sale.  Any amount of time you can help from one hour or more does make a difference!

    Our yard sales are none like you've ever seen before!  Items are grouped by like items (kirchen, bathroom, children's clothing & toys, men's clothing & tools, women's clothing, pocket books, etc.)  and set up so items are easily seen. 

    All proceeds raised from the sales go to provide monthly living assitance for vulnerable and needy children.
  • Help with monthly bake sale!  The volunteers sell sausage biscuits, coffe cake, muffins, bread, candy, cakes, and pies to pay for overhead expenses such as: postage, stationary, electricity, etc.  This enables us to send 100% of funding to the children in South Africa.  Call or email if you or your mission group would like to assist.

  • Assisting with Spring and Fall fundraisers such as auctions and/or BBQ's, golf tournaments, and banquets.  Click here for info about our past Golf Tournaments.

  • “Building Together” project donations:  Ya Bana Village is a God-sized project that has been blessed by donors just like you building together.  Needed are more cluster homes for children; an on site remodel for an adminstration building that will in addition to other needs, provide a clinic where local and visiting medical teams can care for the children and community; a youth living center that will capture the "aged-out" children that are still in school or continuing their education as they prepare to become productive citizens; a multipurpose pavillion where the children can attend church, as well as other recreational and educational functions; sustainability projects that will help teach the children how to work and raise money for their home; a sports field where they can focus energy in a positive, but competitive way; and a baby home where the very young can receive the much needed care. 

           Simply write “Building Together” on your donation. 100% of your gift will go towards this project.

PRAYER

None of the financial and volunteer support will give what the children need if they are not lifted up in prayer. We believe that God answers prayer because we have experienced his amazing provision in this ministry. However, we expect even MORE blessings!

Please consider:

  • Pray weekly or even daily for the very special children, volunteers, leaders of the children, their country and city politics, as well as for the foundation.

  • Set up a monthly prayer group for these kids

  • “Adopt” a child in your Sunday School class so an increased focus on them will be made in group prayers.

 

Would you like someone to come speak about the kids to your church, Sunday School, or civic organization?  Contact us at mabopanekids@nc.rr.com.

God Bless You Abundantly as you support the disadvantaged children of Mabopane!
