Heaven Coffee- From the Mountain to Your Table


Fourth semester student, Juan Armenta, has an incredible story about how God gave him a dream for a business when he wasn’t even looking for it. 

Juan came to CPN because a friend encouraged him to. He felt the Lord leading him to go through a season of preparation and he wanted to walk in obedience. He says his experience hasn’t been easy- as he is much older than the majority of the students in the dorm- but it has been a great learning experience for him to be humble and walk in obedience.


During his first semester in May of 2017 the Lord began to speak to him during his devotional. He began to hear the words: “coffee, heaven, from the mountain to your table, colors, blue, black, and platinum.” He began to sense that God was speaking to him about a business for coffee but he had no idea what that meant or how to start!!


In July of 2017 he went to Guatemala and spoke with the president of the coffee federation there. He never would’ve imagined that just a year later he would be starting a new Guatemalan coffee business!

Juan says, “God rewards obedience and in obedience are the treasures of heaven.” 


Juan is now about to fully launch the business “Café Cielo” (Heaven Coffee) in January. They now have a web page, designs, packaging, mugs, etc. The company has the colors blue, black, and platinum just as Juan saw in his vision. The slogan is “From the mountain to your table.”  
The symbols in the wings of the bird are actually in Mayan (an old indigenous language in Guatemala) and mean Love, Faith, and Hope. 


Café Cielo is the first international coffee business in Guatemala. There are several local companies but not one that is international. It is amazing to see that in just one time in a  devotional with the Lord, Juan was able to hear so much and not only did he hear the voice of the Lord, but he chose to walk in obedience. 

We are so proud of our students and to see them take risks to follow their dreams is something so beautiful! Not only do we have students that are pastors, missionaries, and leaders, we also have students that are businessmen like Juan. 

We encourage you today- don’t be afraid to listen to the voice of Lord and when you hear Him speak don’t hesitate to walk in obedience. You don’t know all that He has in store for you!!

Tired Of Fighting Alone?

How are YOU doing... today ?   As a result of the pandemic situation, many people have found themselves fighting some type of battle - and many of them were fighting all ALONE.   IN OUR CASE ...   the Lord had us start the project for the Christian School about 4 years ago.  There are a lot of people affected by the project and many families counting on it for their children.  Last week, we got to a point where it looked like it would be impossible to see the fulfillment of that project.  It looked like it could be finished.  We want to share some ideas on how we were able to walk through the despair of feeling like we were about to lose everything.  1.  PEACE -  Recently I (Jerry) caught myself in "just hang on and survive" gear... but God got in my face and reminded us that He LEADS me by His peace .  Satan wants to DRIVE us compulsively , but God wants to DRAW us compassionately .  I know it sounds too s...

A Ministry of Multiplication

Leo Grisales, Christ for the Nations graduate who is dedicated to a ministry of multiplication. There are two things that have marked my life says Leo, “ there was my life before and after I accepted Christ as my Savior and there was my life before and after I studied at Christ for the Nations Colombia”.  Leo has a degree in Systems Engineering and had planned to study at Christ for the Nations to solidify his walk with God as he worked as a Systems Engineer.  During his time at the institute, he received several prophesies saying he would be going to the nations.  It was a foreign thought to him but after his first missions trip, he knew he was called full time to the nations to raise up workers for the kingdom of God. Leo graduated from Christ for the Nations Colombia 4 years ago.  Since then, he founded JUMP ministry, he has traveled to 8 nations, ministered to over 20,000 people, has formed ministry teams in four nations, written a book, built ...

Anointing Before Character

David recently returned to Colombia from a mission trip to Mexico.   He shared his testimony in Mexico that impacted both Christians and non-Christians.   It is amazing to see how God uses him despite having been kidnapped by his father, living in fear of the law, and losing his mother at the age of 12. When David was about 2 years old, his father kidnapped him to try and get money from his grandfather.   His father was caught and went to jail for two years until David’s mother dropped the charges and asked him into their lives again.   His father moved in with his other “wife” and the two women, their children, and his father lived together. David’s family moved often to avoid being caught by the law.   David says that he feared police officers because his family was always hiding from them. David’s mother died when he was 12 years old.   Now, David is thankful that his grandparents fought for and gained custody of him, but a...
