Coffee for the Peoples

This Gayo man is enjoying a cup of coffee after breakfast. Most of the people groups on Sumatra have distinctive coffee grown in their areas. And, of course, their coffee is always the best! Many times, as a foreigner, you will be asked if you’ve tasted their coffee yet. When you are served coffee it’s usually scalding hot. This is good for two reasons. First, it means that whatever was in the water has been killed off and you won’t get sick. Second, it means that they want you stay and talk while the coffee cools down. On the other hand, if they give you warm coffee it means they want you to drink it and leave.

Pray that the peoples of Sumatra will smell the aroma of Christ, awake from their spiritual slumber and be saved.

Pray that believers on Sumatra will see hot coffee as an invitation to sit and share the stories of life with their family, friends and acquaintances.

Pray that like the unique coffees of the peoples, God will help the peoples of Sumatra to value the uniqueness of His Son. Pray that they will come to understand that He is more than just another prophet.
