Maria’s Family Follows Jesus
Maria’s Family Follows Jesus
Maria and her four children lived without a roof for years. During the rainy seasons, they used scraps of wood and metal they had found to patch together some protection from the elements.
When Pastor Miguel and his church met Maria they decided to help. Partnering with HOPE Coffee, they were able to purchase supplies and install a proper roof for Maria and her children!
As the church members worked to build the roof, they showed the love of Jesus, sharing the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection. When Pastor Miguel and his wife asked the family if they were ready to follow Jesus, four of them said, “Yes!”
Because you choose HOPE Coffee, Maria’s family now follows Jesus. They have a roof over their heads and a church family to call their own.

Desperate to make ends meet, Rigo turned to begging in the streets. When Pastor Carlos met Rigo and heard his story, he found the situation so desperate and depressing he said, 
During one visit with Rigo’s family, Pastor Carlos and members from the church presented to them a life-changing gift—a brand new set of tools! They had even set him up with his next job! Rigo was overjoyed to be able to work again.
Just like Pastor Carlos said at the beginning of this story, we too believe that only God could have done this for this family. It was a desperate situation, but we serve a God who cares deeply about the impoverished and lowly among us.
March 28, 2022 was a special day in the life of Angeles and her daughter Danita. Pastor 
Pastor Carlos and Pastor David, who pastors a neighboring church, both had a desire to help this family and share the gospel with them. They organized groups of people from each of their churches along with three others in the community, and in October of 2021 the work of building Angeles and Danita a more secure house began.
Over the next five months, these volunteers dug and poured a proper cement foundation, mixed the mortar, laid the bricks, installed the roof, framed the windows and doors, and painted the house. It was slow progress, but spiritual lessons were being learned. Not only was the gospel shared throughout this time, but Angeles saw the love of Jesus from many people.
During the months of construction, Christians provided food for her family among other necessities. While working on the house, one church member noticed that it was hard for Danita to concentrate because of the loud music that played day and night from a neighbor’s house. So they bought her a set of headphones to block out the noise so that she could concentrate on her school work. Danita was touched to see how these Christians cared for her needs!
Angeles also saw the friendships that were formed between Christians from

Joconal, Guatemala—For teenagers like Astrid, there is one acceptable life path: to get married and have children. From the time she was born, this is what her family, village and peers assumed she would do. She was to attend elementary school, pick coffee alongside her family and then start having children young, like her mother before her.
Then Astrid found 
Even with these barriers, Astrid is set to graduate high school this year. She is planning on attending college and entering the medical field which is a venture neither she nor her parents could have ever imagined. 
Her biggest life change, however, is that after hearing the gospel from one of her teachers, Astrid decided to follow Jesus!

Puebla, Mexico – Two years ago, 55-year-old Juan lost his leg because of complications with diabetes. Ever since, he has relied on a standard wheelchair to traverse his small town outside of Puebla, Mexico. Because his town has many dirt roads, Juan was extremely limited on where he could go and what he could do for work. In a short amount of time, Juan not only lost his leg, but also his ability to work and much of his freedom.

Over the next few days, Pastor Carlos went on to distribute 99 more baskets full of food and supplies to those in need throughout six nearby villages. As he gave food, he engaged in conversations about Jesus with each family. Many of these families, just like Ermelinda, felt that the food arrived just in time as they did not know where their next meal would come from.
Through the pila project Pastor Joel had the opportunity to learn a little bit more about HOPE Coffee and how people and churches throughout the United States provided the funds through their purchases of coffee. He also learned that these same people were praying for him and his ministry after the
