Life is about changing, the country song says. Well, we are experiencing change at the moment that is giving us more than a fair share of challenge. Saturday we hosted an information coffee and invited local pastors, community leaders and interested friends. We shared the vision for the cafe - that we were not just opening another coffee shop, but that the purpose is to train young people in restaurant skills. There wasn't the big turnout that we had hoped for, but everyone who came took our brochure and information to pass on to others, so that's a good sign. We still have some equipment to purchase before we can open our doors to the public, so we are hoping that within a couple of weeks we will have what we need to host a grand opening. Please pray - we need a good espresso machine, and we need other kitchen equipment, such as an oven to bake our delicious specialties. Training has already begun. We have two women who are learning to bake, and one young man who is keeping the grounds neat and tidy. We have a staff! (kind of)
