THE GOBENA STORY
In the summer of 2007, Steve and Danae traveled to Ethiopia to adopt their little girl, Eva. Gobena (pronounced gō•bĭn•ŭh), a 70 year-old farmer, found Eva abandoned in the yard near his home. “Because she is God’s soul,” Gobena and his wife, Mulunesh, took care of the newborn baby for about a month. Gobena and Mulunesh realized they would not be able to provide for Eva, so they traveled 150 miles to a police station to seek help. Eva is now a permanent member of Steve and Danae’s family.
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.
