“In Uganda, one of our most faithful partners in ministry is Pastor Patrick. He hosted our very first Leverage training in the country and quickly became one of our top trainers.
For many years he served faithfully as a single man, until just a few years ago, when he met and married his beautiful bride. They began doing ministry together, side by side. He loved her deeply.
Not long after, they received the joyful news—they were expecting a baby girl.
But as the pregnancy progressed, complications began to arise. Still, by God’s grace, she carried the baby through to delivery. On December 26, 2024, just after Christmas, their daughter was born. They named her Noel. She arrived early—about 27 weeks—but thanks to the dedicated care of nurses and the grace of God, little Noel survived.
Tragically, about two weeks later, Noel’s mother passed away due to complications from childbirth.
Pastor Patrick was devastated. A young husband, now a widower. A new father, left with a fragile newborn who required special care and nutrition—care he had no idea how to provide alone. Her only hope was formula or milk from other mothers, which came at a cost.
That’s when Coffee 4 Missions stepped in.
Because of their generous support from your purchases, Coffee for Missions was able to help cover the costs of care, formula, and basic needs—giving Pastor Patrick a fighting chance to care for baby Noel during those critical first few months.
Today, Noel is thriving. She’s a healthy, growing baby girl. And Pastor Patrick will never forget the compassion shown by Leverage Leadership—fueled by the faithful generosity of Coffee for Missions supporters.
You see, Coffee for Missions doesn’t just help us train leaders with our How to Lead and Still Have a Life curriculum. They help us extend the love of Christ in tangible, life-saving ways. When a pastor is in crisis—whether it’s for medicine, transportation, or even saving the life of a newborn—Coffee for Missions is often the first to respond.
When you support Coffee for Missions, you’re not just supporting training. You’re changing lives. You’re touching the world.
“Great Coffee Supporting the Great Commission”
“Would you consider supporting our Leverage Leadership ministry work directly?
Due to the loss of some support in 2024, we need to expand our support base moving forward. Many of you already faithfully support our ministry through your Coffee 4 Missions purchases, and to you, we say, “Thank you so much!”. Every gift is making a difference and your prayer and/or financial support is so appreciated.
However, if you, your business, your church, small group or others you know might be interested in taking the next step and learning more about our Leverage Leadership and how you could make a direct impact around the world, contact us. We would be happy to meet, or Zoom, with anyone with a heart for equipping pastors around the world! We love and appreciate each of you!” Dale Burke
