Coffee With A Story

I love coffee. I have not always preferred coffee, though. It was not until I lived in Turkey & had a roommate that insisted I take a sip, did I try it. (Thanks Alison!) Ever since I returned to the states in 2000, I have rarely gone without a cup each morning. Just as there are many days in which I drink it soley for the caffeine, there are many a times that I drink it for the social aspect. There's something about sitting down with a good friend over a cup of coffee. Some of the best conversations I've had involved great friends & great coffee.

I also love my church. There are many things I love about it - authentic community, true worship, mission focused & that it serves coffee! More importantly, I love that it serves coffee with a purpose. The coffee is from Rwanda's Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee.
The money donated helps coffee growing families. Part of the proceeds also help the women of Inyakurama (widows working to restore their lives). This country was devastated by one of history's largest cases of genocide in the '90s which left families torn apart & a country crippled economically, socially & polictically. It's great to see something I cannot live without each morning contribute to making a difference in the life of a family halfway across the world.
