Mocha Club- Saving Darfur and Serving the World
Author: DavidJones // Category: Ethics, Serving, Social Injustice, The Church
To be completely honest, this probably the most important post I have made on my blog. For the last year or so, I have had a strong desire to make a difference in the world. I’ve really wanted to do something about social injustice in the world, but I had no idea how to start.
A few months ago, I read Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris, and it really motivated me to find a way to get involved.
Just yesterday, I discovered Mocha Club. The “club” has nothing to do with coffee, but actually the lack of.
Through Mocha Club, for only $7/month (or the price of 2 mochas), you can make a difference in Africa. There are to twists, catches, if’s, and’s, or but’s. You simply pay $7/month and make a major impact on a nation that needs help!
The organization has several projects you can take part in, but the project I have chosen to take part in concerns building clean water wells in Sudan. Many of you are familiar with the tragedy that is taking place in Darfur. By donating $7, you help provide clean water to Darfur refugees and also help build orphanages for children who have had to flee the country.
In other words, when you give up $7 a month – the cost of 2 mochas – you are supporting a project in Africa. In Africa, $7 gives clean water to 7 Africans for a year, or will put 2 kids in school!
I honestly want to encourage you to take part in this effort! I have started a team through MC and you can join my team and we can do this together! Pray about it if you need to, but seriously give this some thought! You are not just donating money to a cause, you are serving the kingdom of God!
Jesus told us that whatever we do for the least, we do for Him.
I know this isn’t a primary motivator for doing this, but if you sign up to donate $7 a month, you will receive a free download of Matt Wertz’s brand new album, and a free download of his EP.
This is something I am very passionate about and I hope you will share this passion!

$7 a month isn’t a big sacrifice. For our American society, it isn’t a sacrifice at all.
Take action. Serve others. Serve the world. Serve Christ!
