Crimson Life Coffee was created by the Chrzan family out of love for the Honduran
people and their great coffee. While on a mission trip in Honduras, into the villages of
the Copan region in western Honduras.
We visited a local elementary school and handed out treats to the children; they rarely
have any luxuries, so extras things like candy, toy cars, and balloons are very special to
them. The people there were very loving and inviting; many asked us into their homes
to eat with them and pray for their families. People who have so little were so willing
to give much to strangers whom they have never seen.
The local pastor was currently living, with his wife and five children, in a lean-to
connected to the back wall of the church. One purpose for our visit was to help plan
out the construction for his new home next to the church building. It was being built
of dried mud-and-straw bricks, just as the Israelites had used for construction back in
ancient Egypt.
That evening we attended service at the newly built church. The one room was lit by a
single Coleman lantern hanging from the rafters; the women and children sat on a
variety of chairs and benches in the sanctuary while the men listened and watched
through the windows and doorways.
Pastor Guy Henry, leader of Plan Escalon, had only recently helped establish this
church in the remote mountain village. He led the service and put on a small play
depicting the story of David and Goliath. He spoke to the people and explained the
plan of salvation and what great things God can do for you if you let him into your
life. Many people stepped forward that night to accept Christ and, because we came to
them, they heard God's message. That was an awesome feeling.
We later learned that very few Americans had ever made it into that village. The
weather was relentless, as rain was always a constant factor, making traveling very slow
and muddy - however, spirits were always high, especially when you can see God's
hand working in such glorious ways.
