Coffee Shop Ministries represents about twenty-five short stories about every day people often over a cup of tea or coffee. The encounters were mostly strangers, whose lives were changed or their stories deeply affected this author to write about them. Readers often commented on the writings with words that implied the meetings were not accidental. Many referred to them as divine appointments. Several stories followed as a result of the readers sharing their lives with this author to capture as well. This author desires for the world to know that we are not alone in our journey, especially spiritually. As many of the people in these stories have been encouraged, it is this author’s hope that many more can also benefit by reading them. The characters in the stories are real people with hope restored, joy uplifted, and lives changed for the better.
Each account concludes with thought provoking questions for the readers to contemplate. They can be shared in group studies where, perhaps, others might feel free to share their life events as well. It is this author’s belief that God exists and desires to move in the lives of His creation. It is not uncommon for people to believe that they are going through trials, times of grief or sadness alone. Often, a few encouraging words from an outsider can make all the difference. Others may feel that they have little to offer someone in need, but reaching out with a simple cup of coffee may change that belief as well. Most of us can remember people who changed the course of their lives for the better, like a teacher, a pastor, a friend, a neighbor, or a stranger. This work is full of those times. Some stories represent a few days in time while others span many years. Coffee Shop Ministries will uplift your soul.
