Coffee & Conversations
Coffee & Conversations
by Steve
Cammia* is the women’s leader in her church. Recently, they have started a coffee ministry for women and girls. Every Friday, at the start of the weekend, women gather for a time of community and weekly Bible study.
Just last week, she shared that they were all having conversation over coffee. The women began to gossip about others. Cammia felt that it was the perfect time to present the Gospel to the group.
She said, “My sisters, all of you are busy talking about other people who are not here now and not saying kind things about them. Let me tell you what the Bible says about this.”
“All the gathering got silent” she recalls. “They were all listening.”
She continued, “The Bible tells that all of us are sinners and fall short to the glory of God. Now, therefore, we all need a Saviour who can save us since there is no one who is perfect in God’s sight. Instead of talking about other people we better think of how we ourselves can draw near to God.”
The women then began to ask, “What do you think? What is your Bible telling you about this?”
She answered to them, “Jesus Christ has come to pay for this because he loves all of us. So anyone who accepts Him as Lord and Savior will be saved.”
*Names altered for safety.

Five women in that simple gathering accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior that Friday. These coffee groups are simple to organize and are a part of the regular social framework of the community. Each group consists of about 25-30 women and girls. For the cost of coffee, sugar, and some small cakes, (about $30) these women are challenging one another with the truth of the Gospel and reaching others who would never come into the church building.
