This week Mark's been at the Elim Leaders Summit in Harrogate, and what a week he's had.
Over the three days of the event, he got the chance to speak to hundreds of people on two subjects he's passionate about - coffee and mission. People like Esther from Elim Community Church in Carlisle, who has served with Elim Missions' BeFree in Cambodia, Mandy from BeFree's Shop With Integrity initiative and Tim, also from BeFree (pictured above with Mark). And he had the pleasure of giving out hundreds of samples of our delicious Hope blend so that other people can get a taste of the flavour-packed, artisan, missional coffee we roast and sell.
We're thrilled by all the support shown to New Eden at the event and we look forward to roasting coffee for a growing number of churches - and being able to donate more and more money to the BeFree campaign, and to our own Woodbank Community Church, at the same time.
If you're not familiar with the story behind New Eden, please check out our previous blog post.
And if you missed out on getting a sample of coffee at ELS - or if you got one and want a taster of our other blends too - check out our sample pack.
