Hello!  My name is Christina Barnes. I am a 20-year-old from South Florida.  I am currently in the process of starting a mobile Christian coffee business.  I first had the vision to open a cafe in 2021. Life shifted, as it tends to do, but I always had that in the recesses of my mind. After fasting and seeking the Lord about it in 2022, I ended my college endeavors and focused on fleshing out the vision for my business. 

The model evolved from a brick-and-mortar to a coffee truck to a collapsible coffee cart.  Life, once again, sidetracked me when I had to quit my job at the beginning of 2024 due to contracting Lyme disease.  But God's timing is perfect!  Finally, in November of last year, I flew to Rhode Island to pick up the coffee cart my boyfriend and his father so carefully crafted for me.  I also purchased my Lucca A53 espresso machine.  The next step for me is to acquire a grinder, and that is where these funds will go. 

I am so excited to continue this journey and eventually be able to launch it.  I plan to devote my weekends to it while still working my main job until I can grow it into my main source of income.  I want to do outreach events and serve with it as my primary goal isn't the money but to be the hands and feet of Christ (on wheels!).  I so appreciate every one of you who donates.  Please know that your contribution will be put to good use.  Thank you once again! God bless!
