In August of 2019, we started the Big Giving Cup. It is a huge coffee mug on our counter where customers drop “tips”. From August through December, our customers generously helped support Puppy Jake Foundation, Sleep in Heavenly Peace (twice), Monticello Food Pantry and Monticello Veterans Organizations. In those four months, over $2300 was donated to these organizations. This wasn’t Freddie and me – this was YOU. We have been deeply humbled by the response to this.
As we begin this year, the focus of the Big Giving Cup is changing – widening – in its scope. We will be focusing more on global gospel mission work. We will still choose a local / state organization quarterly to help support. Mission Cup Coffee was started out of a love of gospel missions around the world – taking the good news of salvation in Christ to those who have yet to hear it.
For the month of January, we have chosen to donate the proceeds of the Big Giving Cup to HeartCry Missionary Society. Specifically, we will be donating to help them with bible translation and providing sound Christian literature. Last year, HeartCry partnered with local churches and publishers in India to translate six different resources into six different languages.
We look forward to being able to be a part of helping this missionary society spread the good news of the gospel. We look forward to having our community and our customers be a part of it as well.
Stay tuned to our Facebook page and this blog for more news on how we are ramping up our support of the gospel in India.
Thank you for your generosity, your patronage and your friendship. We look forward to seeing how God moves through Mission Cup this year.
