Something that Andrey was busy with for the past few weeks is publishing the Ph.D. thesis and preparing for viva (or koronka - in Finland). This final phase in thesis work took up much time and made it difficult to focus on Isaiah 43:19 Coffee roastery.
After this coming Friday, however, (September 5th) the work on the thesis and its defence will be complete, Lord willing. When this is done, Andrey will fully focus on setting up the first Coffee roastery in Lapland again.
Meanwhile, we were able to continue the work on the Rostery web-site, working out the details of fund-raising campaign, taking to the local government about upcoming opportunities. We also approach a local university of applied science with the proposal to provide coffee in the place of the recently closed cafeteria at the university premises. The negotiations about the university are on-going. Please pray that we would be given wisdom to know what we can commit to.
We had our first cupping event last week. It was a great experience. People seemed to enjoy the cupping, fellowship and good coffee that followed. Coffee roastery is in our hearts more than ever.
The report of the first cupping event will come shortly.
