Greetings from Venilla, Anbalagan and Sridhar.
Hooray!!... We are so excited to let you know Daily bean is celebrating its first birthday on December 13th.
As I am writing this blog I’m just so overwhelmed. I am reminded of this verse that God gave us when we started this cafe, it’s from Zechariah 4:10. It says; Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.... what a great year it has been. We are so grateful for God’s favour over this cafe. Honestly speaking it wasn’t easy for us to start this on our own, we have had lots of ups and downs but through it, all God was with us. He’s been so faithful and provided us with the strength that we needed. We are so thankful to God for giving us excellent mentors to guide us and help us through our hard times.

| Celebrating Venilla Birthday |
Since last December God’s shown himself to be our teacher. He’s also shown himself to be a leader since he set that example, we are able to be leaders like him. It’s really encouraging to see our employees try to follow in our footsteps in our work ethics, responsibilities and our relationship with each other. We can’t wait to see what God’s going to show him as in 2019.
We want to wish all of you all a very blessed Christmas and that this season will be a wonderful time with your loved ones.

Hope you are doing well. We’ve had a crazy yet a wonderful month. Our sales have gone up and we have been getting bigger orders. Our best selling products this month were the pumpkin pie, pumpkin spiced latte and the pumpkin cupcake. We introduced a new drink this month, it's called peppermint mocha. It's been a big hit amongst the customers.
One of the hardest things in business is losing good employees. This month we lost two of our employees. It was really fun to have them working with us. We loved spending time with them. Sridhar spent time mentoring them and guiding them to grow deeper in Jesus.
To celebrate our big day, we are having free pies lucky draws, 10% discounts, free Christmas sugar cookies and acknowledging our loyal customers. We are so excited and can’t wait to let you know how our celebration went in our next blog. We are expecting it to be a big celebration.
We are so grateful for the employees that stuck with us from the beginning. We see a lot of growth in them. We are so amazed at how God used some of them to teach us also. During our staff meetings, we ask one of our employees to share what God’s been teaching them in that month.
This month Manju shared about how God gives talents according to our abilities and how we need to use it to our fullest. This was really encouraging to us as we can apply this to our employees and help them work accordingly. We love our team and are proud to see how much they have grown this past month.
