God's Work
God invites every person to live this principle, but not everyone feels addressed, let alone dares to dare to put it into practice. Because it is also a challenge, as Jesus Christ made clear: "One servant cannot serve two masters. He will be devoted to one and reject the other. He will devote himself completely to one, the other he will despise. You cannot serve God and mammon at the same time."
In consultation with Nicolas, Markus announced to the farmers in May 2025 that we would be purchasing their green coffee from the 2024 harvest and that they should make the necessary preparations. Although we did not have the necessary funds at that point, we firmly believed that God would provide the financial resources. We then determined the weight and drew up a distribution plan for the Döbeln and Labuan Bajo locations. It is important to note that the majority of the farmers had stored their entire raw coffee harvest for us, trusting that we would purchase it.
Before Markus' second stay with the farmers, during his Faith Journey in 2025, Nicolas told him that we had received a gift of 125 million rupiah (equivalent to about €6,000) from a woman. Yes, our God provided the necessary finances for the purchase in good time.
