Here's what I wanted to tell you yesterday...
My wife has recently discovered a love for coffee. Something about two little kids and needing caffeine, I don't quite understand it... She found 963 Coffee, which, according to her, is both delicious and really good for the farmers. All the coffee comes from different places in the world, places where an honest business can bring in a lot of much-needed money to help with health care, schooling and general well-being. 963 takes great care to treat the growers well, instilling growth in hurting communities around the globe.
Here's a blurb from their website...
"963 Coffee is freshly-roasted specialty coffee unlike the majority of coffee that sits on shelves for almost a year. This means you're getting an amazing cup of organic Arabica coffee every time you brew a pot.
We also believe our coffee should provide a fair wage for the farmers who work hard to harvest it. Because of your choice to purchase 963 Coffee, farmers can put their kids in school, put food on the table for their families, and afford health care. Every bag - every cup - of 963 Coffee is making a lasting impact with coffee farming families around the world."
Through their website you can support Blood:Water Mission, a wonderful organization run by some good friends of mine. Blood:Water works with African communities to build fresh-water wells in the poorest of areas. An amazing work.
963 also helps with fund-raising for other organizations. For instance, you can CLICK HERE, place your order from this page, and a portion of the proceeds will go to California kids raise money to go to YoungLife camp. A good buddy of mine is hoping this will make a difference for kids who could use a week in a new setting, a week where God might be able to be heard a bit more clearly.
For ten bucks, try a bag out, do some good, and I hope you like it and end up drinking their coffee exclusively. If you have to drink coffee, that is.

YAY for 963!! Yay for Steven & Christine! :)
but what if I only drink tea?
I can't help the tea drinkers, but 963coffee does sell cocoa! Here's what their site says about it:
"Americans consume chocolate every day not knowing that almost half of the world¹s cocoa supply is contaminated with slavery. Almost 70% of consumer cocoa comes from West Africa where cocoa farmers do not receive a fair wage for their beloved beans. Purchasing Cocoa Jambo! is a small but significant way to make a difference. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!"
Wow Andy! Thanks for spreading the word. 963 is "Anything Missions!" Our heart is to help farmers to make a fair wage to support their families. It is so fun to partner with amazing organizations like Blood:Water and Young Life to be apart of what they do as well as providing for the farmers and all while drinking an amazing cup of coffee or cocoa or my fav put the cocoa in the coffee! For you tea drinkers, be patient with us, it is in the works!
Psalm 96:3 "Declare His glory among the nations..."
What if they discovered a coffee flavored tea, would you drink it then? Would they call it 96Tea instead? Somebody give me a refill of this stuff...
Ah, an appearance from the illustrious DRAGON. Hi Justin!!!!
too bad they don't ship to canada.
Thanks for the link. I bought some cocoa this morning.
