Rio Coco Beans Coffee
Want to try some of the best coffee in the world? Want to help out needy people worldwide as you enjoy that cup of coffee? Rio Coco Beans directly imports coffee from personal sources in Nicaragua, Honduras, and Ethiopia. In addition we have friends who help us with coffee from Colombia, Sumatra and other places. Good Coffee and a Great Cause!

In 1985, many of the Nicaraguan refugees who were living in the swamps and savannahs along the Kruta and Coco Rivers in Honduras asked us for help in educating their children. Due to the war in Nicaragua, it had been five years since many children had attended classes. We certainly didn't have a plan, but our Lord did! Over the next few years, He used many volunteers to train teachers, build school buildings, and provide school supplies to refugees in 12 villages. Enjoying viewing this miracle!

The production of coffee is a laborious process. In these next pages, we will take you through the steps of coffee growth from flower to bagged coffee. We are fortunate to have such high quality sources for our coffee! When you finished this photo essay, you will be brought back to this page.

For many years we have desired to have a facility where we could train teachers and pastors, record Miskito music, make local artisan products, and gather different cultural elements. We found a piece of proterty outside of Waspam at the end of the airport runway in 1991, and began praying. We were able to purchase it in 1992. Four years later, we began construction of what we though would be a simple building. However, God had bigger plans- As usual! Take a look at the result of many prayers, financial gifts, and hard labor by many volunteers!

Keep In Touch with Seek The Lamb through reading our monthly newsletter, which is titled "The Conchshell Chronicles.

Many have asked us why "Conchshell"? Well, in our Hawaiian culture, this shell is used to send messages from island to island. We want to send many monthly messages to you! Also, the Conch is a very delicious meal which is served throughout the Caribbean, where our project is located. We have lived in regions many will never travel to, and have learned many practical lessons. We want to pass these along to you in an effort to help each other with our spiritual growth.

We are by definition somewhat crazy for attempting to do all these things we write about, but here is the secret: God loves to have fun with us doing His Things.

And actually, when we wrote the first issue of the Conchshell Chronicles in January of 1989, we had just finished a bowl of conch chowder, and it was soooo good that, well, we just couldn't get it out of our mind.

We hope that you will be inspired, transformed, and encouraged by reading our monthly newsletter. We also hope that God use your prayers and financial gifts to bless many children along the Rio Coco in Nicaragua, and the workers who are "worthy of their wages".
