This week, Caroline and I had the pleasure of meeting with
our good friends, Stephen and Christina Byerly. Stephen has been working with
the Wesley Foundation at UGA for the past several years and has recently
accepted a position with Café 1040. Café 1040 isn’t the latest hip coffee
joint. 1040 refers to the window of the world between 10 degrees and 40 degrees
north latitude. That region contains the largest proportion of people that have
never heard the good news that Jesus brought to the earth 2000 years ago. Café
1040’s mission is to change that by equipping young people for full time work in
that region. (I still don’t know where the “Café” came from, but it DOES sound
pretty hip.) Caroline and I are currently going through a 4 month study on
missions at our church, and while we have not felt the call to go overseas yet,
it gives us great pleasure to support our good friends who have. Click here for more on Café 1040 or feel
free to contact me directly.
