A mission for the caffeine junkie in all of us...Christian rock band Third Day has teamed up with Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee to form the Drink Coffee Do Good mission work. The short story on this is that most coffee comes from growers and workers who are exploited to a great extent (think blood diamonds, but without the blood). This new mission is about promoting the workers in Rwanda who provide coffee beans to the industry...treating them fairly, paying them fairly, etc. Follow the links for more info.
Of particular interest to me is the coffee ministry kit...I'll have to look into this a little bit more.
For those wondering, I drink Green Mountain Coffee, a company that is "brewing a better world" by working with coffee-growing communities (similar to the above actions) and promoting the use of green energy in their facilities.
