Shop On Purpose

Remember when we could serve coffee at church? 

Did you know that the coffee we served was intentionally chosen, not only for quality, but also for impact? At Stafford Crossing, we buy coffee from Hope Coffee. As a coffee supplier, they are committed to the Gospel mission of Jesus Christ. They purchase coffee around the world from impoverished farmers. They
pay a fair price for the coffee in markets where other buyers might exploit the conditions and cheat the farms. By paying a fair price, the farmers can pay the workers a fair wage. This improves the living conditions of entire communities. 

Then, Hope invests their profits in the mission. They use proceeds from US coffee sales to fund local churches as they reach their communities with the Gospel. Recently, 37 people in a village in Honduras heard the Gospel and responded by trusting and following Jesus.You can read more about it here.

Let's remember that where we spend our money matters. Together, let's shop on purpose.

      He has told you, O man, what is good; 
      and what does the LORD require of you 
                  but to do justice, and to love kindness, 
      and to walk humbly with your God? 
Micah 6:8
