Thabi started working for Lydia’s Mission in October of 2017. So much has changed for Thabi since starting here. She was able to earn her driving license and built a house in eManzana. As she is one of the only drivers, Thabi has been given a promotion for all the help she provides. She loves to sew the lion and the elephant. She has 2 daughters, Londiwe 16, and Mangalisile 14. Thabi is a big soccer fan and cheers on her team, Kaiser Chiefs. She also loves to sing! A dream of Thabi’s is to own her own car and she likes the Range Rover. Thabi is one of the strongest women we have and she will always help no matter where we need her help. Although she is shy when having her picture taken, she is quick with a joke or smile and will light up the room when you are with her. Pray for her as she continues to grow in wisdom and truth.
When Claire goes to lead the bible study at the dump, she sits on this very broken chair.

"We don’t use fancy chairs, tables etc, we have church in the dump. And sit on the things that come “broken” into the dump. It reminds me how we come broken to Jesus. We don’t have to get our life perfectly together to come to Jesus is exactly what I teach the ladies.

Come to him with all our brokenness, our heartaches and our burdens. He will meet us where we are at!" - Claire Brown

We are so thrilled to welcome Elsa Grant as our newest missionary!! Her planning is underway, and we will share more about her in the months ahead. Please join us in prayer for Elsa, for her fundraising and favor with the consulate for her visa, and for all that the Lord is preparing for her.
We love empowering women and serving children. We desire to see children have the opportunity to dream, and for women to have a skill to take pride in their work and support their families. Doing so opens up an opportunity for the Gospel. Through educational support, Bible clubs and nutrient rich meals, kids know they are loved and have many advocates amplifying their voices.
Many of our church partners are seeing growth at their churches by running hope centers for children at their locations. Whenever we can support the local church, we are all in!! Thank you for helping equip this work.
We have new kids on the farm! 😍 They’re jumping at the chance to make a difference with Lydia’s Mission. Join them and jump into what God is doing here in South Africa at lydiasmission.org! 😉🧡
“We have so much joy at The Gogo (grandmother) Center. We are so sad each day when we have to go back home. We love going to the center and how Lydia’s Mission cares for us” - Gogo Ester
At our Gogo (grandmother + grandfather) centers, we feed and holistically care for 70+ elderly community members.
We are so grateful for the wisdom and love of gogos like Gogo Ester!
Help us reach more of the elderly in our community at lydiasmission.org 🧡
