a story of reconciliation.

Brian and Karla Poirier serve as Reconciliation Ministries’ coffee campaign manager and assistant. Prior to their involvement with RM, they served as missionaries in Puerto Rico. While there, they experienced Hurricane Maria and were devastated by the impact it had on the people of Puerto Rico. Everyone needed money and they faithfully prayed, “God, we found a need. How do we meet it?” Shortly after praying that prayer, a friend called with the news that he had bought 400 acres on the side of a mountain and wanted to start a coffee business. They came up with the slogan “more than coffee” – their mission was to make a difference by reaching orphans and addicts. This was the start of something more than they imagined.

After serving in Puerto Rico for a few years, Brian relapsed and knew he needed help – he had a connection to RM and decided to join the Restoration Track which he completed at the end of 2019. Since being at RM, he has experienced reconciliation to God, himself, his wife, and so many others.

Once Brian completed the program, his wife, Karla, decided to move to South Carolina and serve within the ministry as well. God continued to use their “more than coffee” mission to help addicts within RM. When the pandemic hit, plans were changed, but the mission remained – “more than coffee”. RM began setting up tables in front of stores, selling bagged coffee, evangelizing, sharing about the ministry, handing out thousands of flyers, and receiving thousands of prayer requests. It’s so exciting to know that through RM Coffee, we will have the opportunity to disciple students and encourage individuals.

Brian and Karla believe that if God can reconcile their life and relationship, he can do it for you, too.

This wasn’t in their plans, but God is using coffee to do so much more than they could’ve ever imagined. The mission of RM Coffee is to provide discipleship and vocational training opportunities for students of RM, while also providing a portion of sustainable income for the ministry.

When you support RM Coffee, you’re doing so much more than indulging in a delicious cup of coffee – you’re impacting the lives of countless individuals.
