🎥 WATCH THE STORY THAT GAVE RISE TO IDE 🔗
IDE COFFEE was born when God placed in Rodrigo Mesquita’s heart the desire to use the coffee our family was already producing to help support the renovation of our church, Igreja Batista Peniel Gonzaga, in Santos, Brazil.
That is how we created the 10,000 Coffees Campaign: we set aside part of our production, packaged it, and committed the sale of 10,000 bags of coffee to help cover the renovation costs.
What we never imagined was what would come next. People discovered our coffee, fell in love with it, and began asking us, “Are you going to keep going?” Until then, our entire coffee production had been exported as green coffee beans to countries around the world, including the United States and across Europe—before being roasted, ground, or packaged. We had always exported as coffee producers, not as a coffee brand.
But God could already see beyond the 10,000 long before we could.
That was when we understood that the purpose should not end with the renovation of our church.
If God had used coffee to support one cause, it could continue to be an instrument to reach many others.
And so, IDE COFFEE COMPANY was born: a company that brings together quality and purpose, taking the coffee produced by our family to individuals, businesses, and churches.
We also made a commitment that is at the heart of IDE: a portion of everything we sell will be dedicated to supporting causes and projects that make a real impact in people’s lives—in Brazil and around the world, wherever God leads us.
And our name carries our mission. It comes from the words of Jesus in Mark 16:15:
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
The 10,000 bags of coffee were not the destination. They were the beginning.
The coffee ends in the cup. The purpose doesn’t.
