God's Perfect Timing

Greetings from Anbalagan, Venilla, and Sridhar, 




Enjoying a meal together after our monthly team meeting
Hello! We hope that you and your family are doing well. We are thankful for your time in hearing our stories from this month and dedicating yourselves to praying for each of us individually, as a team, and for our business. It is so amazing to look back to where we have started, to reflect at where we are now, and to look ahead to the blessings of the future and see how God is continually shaping, molding, and teaching us to be throughout it all. It's a blessing to see the direction that the Daily Bean is growing in!



Venilla and Shobha at Shobha's Bridal Shower! 
We all go through dry and rough seasons. This month, God's been teaching Venilla about the secret of endurance. God wants her to continuously seek Him even when things get messed up or go wrong. It's easy to endure in the good times. It's when the hard times hit that our endurance is proven. When Jesus went through the process of preparing himself before he was going to be crucified, He first prayed. This was how Jesus endured His pain: through praying. It reminded Venilla of how important it is for her to do the same when she goes through difficult situations. God has been so faithful to her in helping her go after Him no matter what the situation is. Venilla has started talking and praying with a few of her friends, helping them to grow deeper in Jesus. At the end of the day, He is so worth it. 



This past month has been a crazy one for Sridhar! It has been really challenging to balance both work and personal life as he is getting ready to walk into a new season. God has been really faithful to Sridhar. He provided him with the wisdom and strength he needed to make the right decisions and get through this month. It's been a very emotional month as well for him personally because of all the craziness that’s been going on with the current cafe space. Sridhar is very blessed and excited for this upcoming season that God has for him. Please continue to uphold Sridhar and Shobha in your prayers as they learn to be married and balance work life as well.

Reconstruction of the kitchen space
It's been a challenging month for me (Anbalagan), as we have had to deal with our present landlord. We had to be strong and rooted to carry on for the next two months, as he has shortened our kitchen. We have to work with a new kitchen on the other side of the building, but by God's grace we can overcome the situation, even though we didn't want to give him the place that he required. I have learned through this situation to be patient and know that God has His own perfect plan for the Daily Bean in his own time. We were able to find a perfect new location for our cafe, and we even signed the new agreement with the new land within a month! We also have started the construction for the new place. We are so excited to see what else God has in store for us and our cafe.   

The new cafe space

Thank you so much for your dedication to praying for us and our ministry. We are blessed to know that you are building the Kingdom with us in the most important way: through prayer! Here are some ways that you can be praying for us during the next month:


Starting the construction process
Prayer Points:
1) A prayer of thanksgiving that we found our new location, signed the new lease, and began construction! 
2) Pray that this process would go smoothly as we continue to manage the current space for the next few months, oversee the construction process, and look into shifting the cafe to the new space soon. 
3) Pray for Sridhar and Shobha's wedding, marriage, and new life together. 
4) Pray that God's perfect timing for everything would unfold.
5) Pray for supernatural peace and the presence of God over the cafe, the business, our team, meetings, and decisions we make. 


With Gratitude,

Anbalagan, Venilla, and Sridhar
