Coffee and Christ Come Together in Thailand
The Apostle Paul warns his readers in 2 Corinthians 9 that whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will reap generously. This is a great exhortation to spread the seed of the gospel far and wide.
Fortunately, even “scattered” seeds can also bring about a harvest. A team of Christian workers in Thailand is learning this despite their “scattered” efforts. They have found Buddhist Thai people who are interested in the ways of Christ. They must follow through with discipleship and train these new believers to continue spreading the seed even further. There is always the challenge of finding more people who will listen to the gospel and respond to it.
One way is to establish a coffee house. This is the kind of environment where people can hear the Word in a relaxed, non-threatening atmosphere. This team of Christian workers needs sound advice from those who are familiar with the coffee industry so they can make sure their business remains solvent.
