Fueling Ministry with Your Coffee Habit? YES!

GO2 Ministries and Grounds 4 Good form Strategic Alliance

GO2 Ministries and Grounds 4 Good recently announced a partnership which will serve as a mechanism to turn coffee consumption into fuel for ministry. Your purchase of this coffee generates resources for mission engagement, throughout the US and the globe. By simply buying this coffee, you are on mission!

Grounds 4 Good is a growing movement of social entrepreneurs making a difference in local and global communities. More than just a coffee company, Grounds 4 Good seeks to empower coffee drinkers to make an impact with every sip through their generous giveback program. With each purchase, Grounds 4 Good pays coffee farmers above Fair Trade prices, and gives a portion of the profits to a worthy cause.  GO2 Ministries is proud to count themselves as one of these affiliate partners.

"This strategic alliance is an ideal way for churches to engage in mission while doing what most of us in ministry do every day - drink coffee," said GO2 Executive Director, Tim Boal.  "We are also able to offer this coffee as an ongoing fundraising program for your local church or ministry - Youth Group, building fund, missions trip -  whatever your ministry need."

Grounds 4 Good works directly with Bolaven Farms in Laos, using organic farming methods to help farmers fight their way out of poverty. When the French colonists inhabited the area, they believed Laos to produce the finest coffee in the world. Decades of conflict left the industry in ruins and the farms in disrepair. Through the efforts of Bolaven Farms, many are finding hope in their soil as they fight their way out of poverty while producing fantastic coffee.

Laotian Arabica is finally regaining the recognition it deserves. Recently, Laotian Arabica was judged one of the 12 best coffees in the world by tasters at the prestigious CIRAD coffee research institute in Montpellier, France.
