UPDATE NEW QUESTION!!!!!
The catch here is. It is much more than free coffee.
This coffee is part of a story of a little girl who was left for dead as an infant under a tree in a yard of an aging couple.
They found her.
Nursed her with milk from their animals for 20 days before making the journey to town and taking her to an orphanage.
Our great friends Danae and Steve now call her their own. Here is the story…
In the summer of 2007, we traveled to Ethiopia to adopt our little girl. When we were there, the contrast in cultures was amazing. Most Ethiopians were not wealthy, but were rich in their sense of community and closeness of their relationships.
Gobena, was 71 years old, when he found a baby girl placed in the yard near his home. “Because she is God’s soul,” Gobena and his wife, Mulunesh, took care of the baby girl for 20 days. Then they placed her for adoption to be in a family who can take care of her long-term. This little girl is now a permanent part of our family. She is truly a blessing from God, and always will be a reminder that there is always hope, as long as there are people who care enough.
Their sense of community and caring for others has inspired us to start this ministry where 100% of the net profits are reinvested in the lives of orphan children throughout the world. Each time you purchase a bag of coffee, you are providing hope and life to children who do not have parents caring for them.
So, invite some friends over for some coffee and feel good about the fact you’re making a difference by choosing Gobena Coffee.
So here you are. My friends. And you are gathered around. Let’s enjoy some coffee.
Instead of buying your bag of Starbucks roast, go over to Gobena Coffee and help care for some orphans.
Now I have 5, 1 lb. bags of coffee to give away here.
First person to get a question right gets a free bag of coffee.
You can only get one bag of coffee so don’t try and hog the answers.
All these answers can be found on my blog or my wife’s blog

Hey Los,
I’m sittin’ here in Starbucks bawlin! We have two precious children through adoption and are in the process for our third. In the midst of the pain of infertility God has blessed us with two amazing kids: Brennan (6) who, yes, is named after the orignal Ragamuffin himself, and Calvin (4). Maybe that’s why I’m so drawn to your blog. You too have a great affinity for Brennan Manning and have an adopted son yourself.
Thanks for sharing man! You just inspired me!
Peace,
Eric
His brothers & sisters are the entire world. We are all brothers and sisters in God’s eyes.
hmm… 1 brother and 1 sister from the foster family?
sohaila, seanna, and 2 people who i don’t know there names. guy w/ a beard and woman, possibly the babysitter (carmen?)
Gotta get a bit clearer than that drew
I don’t want any free coffee tonight (I’m afraid I don’t know the answers….wow…some devoted fans!), but I do want to thank you for sharing Steve and Danae’s story. I’m headed over to Gobena Coffee right now. Thanks, LOS!
seanna, sohaila, your mom and brother? i haven’t a clue who those people are. haha. if that answers not right, i think i give up.
I saw the post and said outloud “oh no” cuz’ Ethiopia, adoption and a video are way to much for me to handle right now. I knew I would cry, sure enough, that is what I am doing.
Great Great Idea. We have a similar thing in the works, I am building the web site right now and working out the Legistics but it’s called The Able Project, with the moto “we are all able to help Orphans (my 11 yr old daughter thought of that) which will be ongoing financial support for two specific orphanages in Ethiopia, the famine drought is about to kick into high gear so they need money to spend in their economy as well as food to eat.One of the orphanages is where our son Abel currently lives in. Hopefully he will be home with us very soon.
4. Jeff, Sohaila, Seanna, Carmen but I don’t remember anyone else being at the airport. Maybe Daniel Balboa when you got back to the house.
I remember now: #4. :Jeff, Sohaila, Seanna, Carmen, and Fermin. Bam!
Thanks! How do I get the coffee?
I am wondering the same thing Jenn
Hmmm… Maybe we'll get this coffee (that we won in June) for Christmas
