Cow & Ox Cart for a Local Farmer in Mozambique

Join me in gifting a local Mozambican farmer a unique Christmas present!

At our November YCP panel discussion, our three panelists shared about becoming better stewards of our workplaces, communities and faith.

"As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God's varied grace." - 1 Peter 4:10

Panelist Dan Wolking shared about the Mission Trip he went on earlier this year to build a teacher dormitory for a local school in Mozambique, Africa, and the impact it had on his life. Dan was one of eight of my coworkers that traveled to Mozambique for the trip, and the stories they have shared since returning have also deeply impacted me. At the end of our panel, I challenged everyone to write down one way they would strive to be a better steward of their workplace, community and faith through a donation of their time, talent or treasure. I also offered a few ways to take action for anyone unsure of where to start.

One way I mentioned giving back was to give the people of Mozambique a unique Christmas present this year by helping me raise money for a cow and ox cart for a local farmer. I put up the $550 for the cow and challenged the rest of our group (and anyone else who wants to support the cause) to raise $1,050 for the ox cart. Please consider giving the people of Mozambique a unique gift this Christmas! No amount is too small. Any donations over the $1,600 for the cow/ox cart will go toward a plow for the farmer, medical supplies for the local clinic and/or baby formula to help end malnutrition.
