Never too young



Greeting from Venilla, Anbalagan and Sridhar,

Barista training & Coffee art
We would like to take this opportunity to share to you all about the events that have occurred in the past month.  With much delight, we would like to tell you about the Barista training we received. The training has not only taught us so much about the art of making a perfect cup of coffee but it has also given us a chance to develop our skills. Every day, we get closer to perfection.

Our customers favourites
We are still focusing on reaching out to new customer and expanding our customers to a larger number. We are building our connection with the customers by handing out our flyers and through word of mouth. We were able to deliver food to many big parties this month and it has been a good experience.

This month we have been moving forward at a very slow pace but we wish and hope to move faster in our endeavors to get this business up and running. 

We spend our morning’s prayer together, hearing from the word of God. These past few weeks, God has laid this verse in our hearts. 1st Timothy 4:12 don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. 
3 of us in 1999

Quite often, we feel that we are too young to start this business for various reasons.
 It gets hard sometimes but we want to look to God for his strength and for his word. 

We are close to completely setting up our company; the only thing remaining is the location of the cafe. We are praying for a breakthrough and we hope that you are all keeping us in your prayers too.





Prayer Points:

1.       Please pray for unity in our team and also for openness towards God’s word.
2.       Please pray for all the legal paper works to move forward and for everything to go smoothly
3.       Please pray for God to open our eyes to see the right location where we can set up our cafe.
4.       Please pray for Wisdom to keep pouring from the gates of Heaven as we make different choices this month.
5.       Please pray for us to hold on to our vision and see what he has for the future.

Tiny steps towards the big dream.



Greetings from Venilla, Anbalagan and Sridhar 

Although we had a slow progress in business this month, we are still waiting for God to show us a clear path. This has been a month of patience, endurance and faith. We have been working hard to connect with new potential customers in order for us to increase our sales. We were delighted to have new customers call and order for our items. At present, our business functions at home.
Our Flyer

At the start of our business, we had decided to come together as a team and worship God and give him glory, regardless of how hectic our life was or would be. The past few weeks have been really busy and sometimes it was hard to focus on anything else other than the business. We were able to put our total focus on God and grow stronger as a team. 

We are blessed to have a one of the best branded coffee machine, along with a coffee grinder. We are excited and look forward to the barista training that will occur this following month. We were privileged to meet an elder who has many years of experiences in the food industry. He has agreed to be our mentor and guide. His presence in our business is a blessing from the Lord.

We still have faith and hope that God will move on our behalf, in matters relating to the location of the cafe. We pray that the location issue would be solved within this month in order for us to move on with our business.

We thank you all for your prayers and faith in what we are doing. Your support has been a continuous encouragement to us. May God bless you all.


Prayer points:

1.       Pray for endurance and faith that god will lead us throughout our business
2.       Pray for confirmation from our partners AXA insurance
3.       Pray for strength in order for us to not be discouraged by circumstances of disappointment
4.       Pray for a financial breakthrough in our business
5.       Pray for God’s presence in our work, day in and day out

Piece by piece!!




Greetings from Venilla, Anbalagan & Sridhar.
We want to Thank you all for your prayers and love. We have been able to achieve a lot over the past month mostly because of your prayers and support. We had mentioned on our previous blog post that we were in need of more equipment for the Daily Bean. It is by a miracle that we were able to receive it before our food taste testing day which was on 30th April.
All the delicious food we served for the taste testing event
                                              
We worked hard for a month on perfecting our menu. It was a crucial month of testing different ingredients, flavors and presentation. We were able to see the fruit of our labor on the food tasting evening. Everyone that came enjoyed it. It was a great experience for us. It gave us an accurate picture on how our business would function, long term, day in and day out. 
 
our crowd for the evening
We were blessed to have 26 people show up for the program. Their critics on all the 20 items were of immense help. All 20 items served were carefully scrutinized, tasted, judged and rated.

 This evening proved to be beneficial in conveying our message, which is our dream to bless others as we have been blessed through our efforts in the Daily Bean, to all who had gathered for the program. We were privileged to have our brothers and sisters at k homes help us throughout the evening program. We are thankful for their willingness to help us out.

After the food taste testing event, The Daily Bean’s board of members have come up with sales targets that are needed to be met at the end of each week. This has helped us to be more focused, careful and precise. This has also helped us bridge a good relationship with our customers.
Thank you so much for all your love and blessings.


Prayer points:
1.       Please pray for finance break through because the changes in the economy of the nation have been making everything impossible.
2.       For confirmation in our partnership deal with AXA insurance company
3.       Please pray for unity among the three of us as we keep growing.
4.       Please pray for our legal paper works to be processed completely.
5.       Pray for our faith to grow and to keep believing for the impossible to happen.
