Java Relief is a special kind of coffee retailer. We sell high quality coffee that's fresh roasted, on demand. What makes us unique is that we are a volunteer company and 100% of our profits go directly to children at risk. Our hearts have been broken seeing the overwhelming need and sadness of so many of these children. Whether they are orphans, slave or sex-trafficked victims, or simply living in an unsafe and impoverished environment. We feel it is our God-given task to fight for these children — to provide meals, clothing, education and better homes.

Back to Colombia!

Thirst Creative

We are returning to Bucaramanga, Colombia, to visit our friends at the childcare center, Ninos para Dios (Children for God)! (In case you want to learn more, we've shared about them in  past emails and on our website javarelief.com.)   

Julian, Carolina, and the team at Ninos have impressed us with their love for the Venezuelan refugee children and their parents. It is their hearts to see these children thrive in Colombia. We are finding this team to be as faithful and trustworthy as Luken (our Haitian Partner who is now living with us) has proven himself to be all these years, and when we visited Ninos last year, we decided that Java Relief would support the childcare center with $500/month, and because of your generosity we haven't missed a donation! We are grateful Java Relief can partner with them so thank you very much for your generosity! Because of Ninos these young children don't have to join their moms working on the streets or be left alone and unable to leave their room. Now they get to go to "school" and feel safe. The foundation provides breakfast/snack/lunch, math/reading/singing/basic healthcare classes, and they get to play! 

Joining us on this trip is a team of 12 from our church's oneless child at risk ministry! This will be the first church team from the US to visit Ninos! We believe this is a perfect match for the oneless ministry. There will be VBS-type activities, trauma training for Ninos staff, one-on-one time with moms and teachings for the parents.  

This is what Julian and Carolina would like to share with you:
"Women (from Venezuela) who have had to leave their country for political reasons and with destroyed lives - full of many kinds of abuse, feel no motivation to move forward when they arrive in Bucaramanga, much less to take care of their children.  At this time, Ninos para Dios  Foundation provides them with the support they need to begin restoring the well-being of the entire family by caring for and loving them and their children. It is a job that has a start date but no end date. Today, after a little more than two years, we have served over 100 children and more than 80 mothers. Seven families have received food, clothing, love, education, and counseling and have also decided to put God first in their lives.  Now they attend church and church activities and are leaders in bringing more families to Ninos para Dios."

Ninos para Dios is making a difference!  Thank you again for being a part of this!
