Gobena Coffee The Gobena Difference

In the summer of 2007, Steve and Danae traveled to Ethiopia to adopt their little girl, Eva. The contrast in cultures was amazing.

We small batch roast fresh, high quality Arabica coffee in small town Gridley, IL. 100% of our net profits go to Lifesong for Orphans to benefit children in need. The Ethiopians they met lived in poverty, but were rich in their sense of community and in the closeness of their relationships. Gobena, a 70 year-old farmer, found Eva abandoned in the yard near his home. “Because she is God’s soul,” Go

bena and his wife, Mulunesh, took care of the baby girl for 20 days and then took her to an orphanage. Eva is now a permanent member of Steve and Danae’s family. She is truly a blessing from God and a constant reminder that there is always hope, as long as there are people who care. Gobena’s sense of community inspired Steve and Danae to start this coffee ministry where 100% of the net profits were reinvested in the lives of orphan children throughout the world. In 2012, Lifesong accepted the challenge of growing Gobena… where each bag of coffee sold blesses the lives of children. So invite some friends over for coffee and feel good about making a difference by choosing Gobena Coffee.
