The Lord's doing is Marvellous

Greetings from Venilla, Anbalagan and Sridhar,

This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.  Psalms 118:23 this verse has been a continuous reminder to all of us of how awesome our heavenly Father is!!.

Our Space!

We are so excited to let you all know that we finally started renovating the place. Isn’t it crazy?.. What an amazing month it has been.  It’s all coming to one piece!! It’s been a very busy month at the Daily bean. A ton of progress has been made. We got our lighting and fixtures, tiles and flooring done and ceiling has been renovated at the cafe. The kitchen is almost done.  It looks beautiful!!!!

There’s still a ton of work to be done in the dining area. Orders for our tables, chairs and crockery have been placed and we should be getting them soon. Apart from the actual structure of the cafe, we’ve been working on perfecting the recipes and getting a lot of photos taken of all our dishes. We have been also working on our finances which can be so stressful sometimes. But it’s crazy how fast things are getting done!! Next time you guys read our blog The Daily Bean would have been opened!!! And we praise God for that. 

We had lot of chance to meet with the construction workers and just have some really good conversations. It’s been an awesome opportunity to start reaching out to these people. Finding out their story and listening to them, laughing with them and getting work done at the same time. Most of them are from outer parts of Bangalore and have moved to south India for work purpose.

Sridhar with the Workers

Over all it’s been wonderful getting to know them and sharing our story and the purpose of starting this cafe. They were happy and shocked at the same time because people usually start business for their own benefits and to help themselves have a stable and good life. They were touched to hear that we wanted to set an example to this generation by reaching out to the people who are lost and help them see and receive the gift of the father.

Day by day as we are getting ready for the grand opening of the cafe we feel so excited, stressed and nervous all at the same time. It’s so crazy how God’s bringing everything so beautifully and perfectly at his own time. We couldn’t be happier. We thank you all for your continuous support and prayers we couldn’t have come this far without it.
