61 Isaiah

Exciting news for our coffee lovers ☕️

We are getting new trees - 5,000 of them to be exact!! What does this mean exactly? Well, thanks to the generosity of Central Baptist Thornton, we are able to replace some of our older trees AND expand the farm overall. So basically, all of this boils down to fact that we are hard at work.

A bigger farm means
- Empowering local leaders
- Breaking cycles of poverty
- The Gospel being shared
- Good coffee for you

For our coffee nerds, the new trees are from the variety called parainema and they travelled all the way from San Francisco del Valle, Ocotepeque 🤓

As you sip on your Finca del Rey coffee, give thanks to David, Melvin, Oscar, Emmanuel, and David for insuring that there is more where that came from!

Just finished making a small batch of my Coffee Sugar Scrub 🤎✨

If you’re looking to add exfoliation to your skin care routine, then this scrub is for you!! The heavenly smell of coffee comes from…well, you guessed it, coffee!! I used coffee that was grown in Gracias, Lempira, Honduras. More specifically, I used the coffee that came from a ministry that is close to my heart - 61 Isaiah Ministries.

You can check out their website to see how they are helping local farmers get their amazingly good coffee to your favorite mug, along with the other areas of ministry they have. ☕️

•Perseverance and strength to finish the school year well.
•ACSI final verification is coming up soon! Pray that we can pass and become an accredited school! 🥳

Thank you for walking with us 🫶🏻

“My connection to 61 Isaiah began when a family from my church made the decision to move to Honduras and become full-time missionaries. The following summer I joined a six-day mission trip with 61 Isaiah to Gracias, Honduras. I wish to continue my support of that mission — with you — through this fundraiser.”

Thanks Oliver for choosing 61 Isaiah to help out while running the Boston Marathon this month.

March has been a busy month for the farm!

While Southside was here, they helped us towards completing an ongoing project of ours. We were able to dig out pathways for piping that will aerate the tilapia ponds and pump water out to the coffee plants. The aeration helps with fish growth and decreases algae in the ponds AND the water from these ponds will be a great source of fertilizer for coffee plants! 🌱🐟

Speaking of coffee, if you are in the Brownwood area, you can find newly stocked shelves of our coffee at Shaw’s market place + some super cute mugs ☕️

Not only did the mission team help out with the ponds, but they shared their testimonies over the local radio on the property of how God has worked in their life, helped us sort out coffee beans to be roasted, and gathered eggs for sale. 🥚🐣

Thank you Southside for helping us out with the day to day (&big projects) at the farm ❤️

“God’s in the little things… Sometimes I forget that. The small blessing that reminds us of His goodness. The ones that really matter. Let me share just a few from this past week.”

This month we had our first mission team of the year, and we had a blast with Southside Church in Brownwood!!

Southside Church has partnered with the church in Las Brisas for almost 10 years now. Isabel Antonio, alongside with his wife Julia faithfully serve the church as pastor. Patricio serves with them as co-pastor, and the church has multiple leaders who help make sure that the church is loving their community well. Las Brisas is the farthest community that we are in, but it is 100% worth the trek up the mountain!

Throughout the week, we visited multiple houses. Some of the people that we went to visit were members of the church, while others were new acquaintances. It was a blessing to see both of the churches come together and be united in faith.

Thank you Southside Church for walking alongside us and helping us share the love & hope of Jesus Christ! ❤️

I have always appreciated how well Honduran culture celebrates birthdays + special occasions. The 16th anniversary of Río de Dios was no different. The church was packed two weeks ago with believers, members, friends, and visitors to acknowledge such an accomplishment. An accomplishment that was only achieved through the grace and faithfulness of God in and through this ministry. We sang together. We opened God’s word together, and we ate together. It was a wonderful night!!

Congratulations Río de Dios for for 16 years!! May the Lord bless you with 16 more (and 16 more after that!) 🎉🎂⛪️

January has been quite full and so many exciting things have happened that we could share about. For all of our coffee lovers, the coffee harvest is almost complete, and we are looking forward to how our coffee will turn out ☕️ On the education side, school is back in session and teachers + students are gearing up for the upcoming SAG competition 📚

Something equally as exciting that we wanted to take a moment to highlight is the 35th anniversary of the church in Los Ciles, Centro Cristiano Esperanza Viva. Pastor Laudelino and Denia have faithfully served and lead this church for 35 years as well!! Multiple churches from the surrounding communities came out to help Centro Cristiano Esperanza Viva celebrate. There was worship, food, cake, and stories of God’s faithfulness shared throughout the night. We are so grateful that we get to do ministry with this couple and walk along side them as they minister to their community. All glory to God ❤️
