Message from Angel Galvis, Mission Life Founder and CEO
“Live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” -Ephesians 4:1
Every time you go back to your roots something happens inside of you. You are reconnected to the beginning of your life and what you were created for. At first you won’t realize the reason you were born in a particular country or the family you came from, or all of the things that make you who you are. Once Jesus comes into our life and we believe in him, he helps us make sense of all of these things. Jesus reveals God’s purpose for everything we are.
Just like that, lives can be changed and everything makes sense. We realize we are here to help his mission, to change the ways of the world so humanity won’t perish and we develop a close relationship with our creator. That's our vision at Mission Life, to help children realize their mission in life, to discover a relationship with Jesus, seek purpose, and go into the world as the next generation of spiritual leaders focused on changing the world, one child at a time.
This month I am reconnecting with my roots in a way I never imagined, receiving our first Mission Life Cafecito, a delicious coffee grown in the country of Colombia where I grew up. The coffee will raise funds to help the lives of many children in different parts of the world, including here in the U.S. We are working on something else as part of this project that will have a positive impact on the lives of students here in our community, but I will share more on this later.
Learn more about our specialty coffee and how you can be one of the first to buy a bag and help kids with every sip here..
