Our Honduran Coffee has arrived and is available for purchase. The coffee will be available at New Life on Sundays and you also can order by emailing missions@newlifecrc.ca.
We are excited about the partnership between New Life, our mission partners and this coffee from Honduran farmers.
The New Life Mission Team desires to encourage missions, support missionaries, and to help everyone focus on serving in God’s kingdom in some capacity. We seek to inspire all people to participate in missions by promoting multiple opportunities and methods of involvement (prayer, hands-on work, financial support, etc.) to touch lives with the transforming love of Jesus.
We are committed to making local, regional and global missions an integral part of our church. Whether your mission field is your home, your work, the homeless and less fortunate in our city, or further abroad to the far corners of the world, we want to encourage everyone to actively participate in missions.
We are proud to sponsor a number of mission opportunities, including trips, projects and partnerships. New Life also supports several long-term and short-term missionaries who serve around the world with various organizations. By purchasing coffee, you help suport these endeavors.
100% of the proceeds from the sales will be used for mission work, so we THANK YOU for your support!
Honduran Coffee
Honduran coffee is smooth and full-bodied in flavour.
Rio Olancho direct trade coffee is free from brokers and middlemen which means a substantially larger portion of the proceeds is paid to the growers. In turn, the growers pay premium wages to their pickers who carefully select only the finest berries. And the beans are cleaned, processed and hand-sorted in Honduras to ensure that the Rio Olancho coffee that is exclusively exported to Canada is of consistent high quality and outstanding flavour.
These hard-working farmers take tremendous pride in their coffee, and they can see God’s hand in making this dream a reality. They give thanks to God for the success of the coffee project, and are ex-cited and motivated as they look to future possibilities. The green coffee beans are medium roasted for full-bodied flavour at Java Works, then packaged in 1-lb vacuum sealed bags in your choice of beans or ground coffee.
The producers have been taught to protect the environment where their crop is grown. This means that the green coffee beans are shade grown with organic fertilizer, natural insect control methods, and the natural habit is protected for tropical and migratory birds and other wildlife. By adhering to these principles of fair wages and sound environmental practices, the coffee has earned the Diaconia Nacional de Honduras distinction of being ‘Certified Ethical.’ The hard work these farmers have invested into their crop has certainly resulted in superb coffee — so good that the Honduran Coffee Institute, which inspects and grades the coffee before it is allowed to leave the country, commended them for their hard work and commitment to quality.
