We’ve been around almost five years.
That’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Nearly five years ago, God planted a dream in our hearts for a place to provide encouragement and hope for moms of boys. We had four of them between us then, and desperately needed the encouragement ourselves. We had only met on Twitter about a month before opening this site, and met in person for the first time about five months later.

You’ve walked with us through births, miscarriages, deaths, moves, crazy wild attempts to find hope in the mess of motherhood, first books, and so much more. Through it all, you’ve become a powerhouse of praying boymoms who are willing to fight for their sons no matter what.

Erin and I stood back to take a good look at you recently and realized that you just sparkle on the internet. You shine. You provide a beacon of hope to hurting moms, and we couldn’t be more proud of all God is doing in your lives.

Here’s what you have to say about how the MOB Society has been there for you…

“It really helps me to know there is a community of people who really, truly “get” the ups and downs of life with multiple boys. I feel much encouraged and far less alone.” Jennifer

“I feel like you get me. Like you understand my goals and my challenges. Your encouragement and positivity means so much to me. Thank you.” Leslee

“ I feel so blessed to have found MOB Society right at the start to have as a resource every step of the way. Thank you for all you do.” Crystal

“This information has changed the way I interact with my son and has given me information for the future.” Jennifer

“The resources, questions, prayer of the day, devotional opportunities just fortify and uplift especially on days where it feels like I’m failing at every turn. To read that other moms are going through some of the same things helps me not only to handle similar situations in a Godly way from some of the guidance, but I also know it’s not just me or my son. Thank you!” Cin

But we sense Him asking for more…

About six months ago, we started having some serious discussions about the future of MOB. Clearly, God has His hand on this community. In the last two or three months, the number of visitors we get to this site has almost quadrupled. God is doing something here, and we believe it’s because you’re so close to His heart.

He loves you, and wants to equip you to raise godly men.

This is incredibly exciting news! God is expanding our territory and impacting more lives! Friends, this has been our prayer for this space all along, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. Our hearts are to minister to you right where you are…

Ministry

As we’ve talked and prayed, the word “ministry” has come up over and over, because truly, that’s why we keep this space alive: to help moms find delight in the chaos of raising boys, and shape a generation of men to love the Lord. Our desire is to provide you with care and resources for raising godly sons, so to be a for-profit ministry just no longer makes sense to us.

That’s why, under the Lord’s leading, we’re pursuing non-profit status for The MOB Society.

Our official name will be Raising Boys Ministries, and this blog one of the arms we’ll use to reach mothers of boys with a message of hope. Admittedly, not much will change about this blog—at least not this year. But everything we do, from the top to the bottom, will be designed with ministering to you in mind. 2015 will bring expansions of ministry, new resources, and new ways to reach the hearts of moms with a message of hope.

Here’s the deal…we can’t do this without you.

Erin and I have never made much money from this site—basically just enough to maintain it and keep it growing over the years. To apply for non-profit status and pay our site expenses for the rest of the year (through the end of December 2014), we need to raise $10,000.

  • If you believe in the ministry of the MOB Society…
  • If you believe supporting moms as they shape a generation of godly men is important…
  • If you want to see more moms of boys get the resources they need to truly make a difference in the lives of their sons…

Would you consider helping us reach this goal?

We need our community to come together and rally behind the vision of delight in the chaos, and support for raising godly men like never before. Will you be a part of it?

If 1000 boymoms give $10 each…

If 500 boymoms give $20 each…

If 250 boymoms give $40 each…

If 100 boymoms give $100 each…

If 50 boymoms give $200 each…

If 10 boymoms give $1000 each…

If 2 boymoms give $5000 each…

We’ll reach our goal today.

We want to walk with you on the journey of raising boys to be godly men. We know it’s the hardest job you’ve ever had, but we’re here to offer hope, resources, prayer, laughter, and encouragement for the daily grind of boy mamahood.

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ANOTHER MOM’S LIFE BY GIVING TODAY.

Help us spread the word. Let your show of support be a vote of support, not for us, but for the moms out there who need hope as much as they need air to breathe.
