One of my closest friends in PA, Scott Hackman, had a God-sized vision to start a fair trade coffee business that had a holistic approach to ministry by working directly with farmers in Central America and Africa and using the profits to benefit a Kingdom organization called the MAMA Project. It’s a creative business approach to seeing the kingdom of God advanced. I’m proud of Scott taking this huge risk to care for the poor and extend justice where it has been lacking.
This dream birthed the reality called One Village Coffee, impacting the world one foreign village at a time. It’s coffee with a cause.
The website launched this week.
Check it out here…and purchase a few bags of coffee while your at it.

1For those of you who are interested in the issue of Fair trade, there is a powerful documentary out called “Black Gold,” that documents the lives of Ethiopian coffee farmers and clearly demonstrates why all of us should be asking for Fair Trade coffee. “Black Gold” was recently released in the theater but is now available to the public on DVD via California Newsreel. You can read more about the documentary or pick up a copy of it here at http://newsreel.org/
