Thank you so so much to the Cano Family for sponsoring last week’s celebration meal!!! 🩵🧡 we appreciate you so much!

We wanted to show you guys something so sweet 🙏

Do you see the second photo of all of the kiddos praying? THIS is what you’re supporting!

With each week we are able to teach and lead these young people in the Word of God, helping direct and guide them through hardship and trials, teaching them how to rely on Scripture to get them through this life! 📖

And each Thursday, we are blessed to allow them a moment of reflection and celebration! It is one of the most special things to be apart of!

So, to anyone and everyone who has ever helped out with these kiddos and our after school programs, THANK YOU. 🩵🧡🩵 we are truly so so thankful. We do not take this opportunity for granted nor do we take it lightly 🫶🏻 the Lord is definitely moving in Anahuac Tx!

If you ever feel lead to volunteer or help in some way with the after school program, feel free to message us! We would love to help you get plugged in 🩵

✨ WE NEED YOU. ✨

Freedom doesn’t build itself, it’s built by people who say yes. Just like Maribel who took time out of her day to sticker and write loving messages on your cup sleeves!

We’re growing, and that means we’re looking for incredible volunteers to serve alongside us in:

🤎 Freedom Café events
☕ Daily café operations
📚 Youth after-school ministry
🙏 Discipleship + prayer teams
🎪 Community festivals & special events
…and more.

If you love people, believe in building Kingdom community, and want to use your gifts for something that matters, there’s a place for you here.

Every hour served helps us build bridges.
Every smile shared plants seeds of hope.
Every act of service creates space for freedom.

If you’re ready to jump in, comment “I’m in!” or send us a message and we’ll get you connected. 🩵🧡

We have SO many delicious drinks at but nothing comes close to lapping up the Living Water of Jesus Christ.

Just today, nearly 40 people - men, women and children - studied the Word of God at the shop. The majority of those 40 were youth.

We can provide you with THE BEST clean ingredient and caffeinated drinks but only Jesus can provide you with a drink connected to an eternal satisfaction.

Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” John 4:13-14

If you have questions, need to work through some thoughts and hard feelings, we are a safe place for you to do just that.

We don’t have all the answers but we have a really great network of resources and people. Ultimately, we can sit with you, hold space for those hard things and love you while we seek the heart of God alongside you.

Sleep well, Freedom Fam. We sure love you a latte.

☕✨🎉 FUN FACT FRIDAY 🎉✨☕

Did you know…..??

The name Freedom Café isn’t just cute branding, it’s actually layered with meaning. 💛

“Freedom” is English 🇺🇸
“Café” (with the little mark over the e 😉) is Spanish for coffee 🇬🇹

So when you put it together, our name literally means Freedom Coffee. ☕🔥

Don’t get me wrong…we wouldn’t write it that way if it were completely Spanish. It was just a fun way to blend our love of two countries.

Some read CAFÉ as the American word “cafe” and that works too! Because we always knew this space would grow beyond coffee into clean grab-and-go meals , better-for-you treats , and intentional options for our community 🤍

It’s a beautiful little play on words with a deeper purpose. Our name is actually a nod to the heart of our mission at Freedom Initiative International, our umbrella nonprofit, which is to build cross-cultural bridges to ignite freedom through education, outreach, and global impact ✨

English + Spanish.
United States + Guatemala.
Coffee + Calling. 🙏

As if that wasn’t fun enough, a few years ago but several years after we named the nonprofit in 2018 and pursued sharing the love, hope and freedom of Jesus, I (Carrie) learned that my actual name means …. You’ll never guess …. It is said that Carrie actually means Freedom.

Crazy, right?!

Well, now you know! We’re so grateful God has given us a space where we can offer better options for a greater purpose!

As always, we sure love you a latte!!

I’m prepping for the kids to come after school and my heart is filled with gratitude!

The afterschool program allows for kiddos to have PB&Js, chips, cookies and a drink while we chat about life, leadership and Jesus.

This would not be possible without the help of our community.

Gator Junction BBQ, Cornerstone - Anahuac, and Anita Hisler keep us stocked with bread, peanut butter, jelly, cookies, chips and lemonade.

Today, I got to make their sandwiches on sourdough bread thanks to Gigi Baked! She’s has begun graciously donating bread from her stash at KP Customs in Winnie!

There are some of you who donate monetarily or cover Thursday’s meals as well.

Sigh….my heart is so full.

If you could only be a fly on the wall to hear the conversations had with these kids and see how much they are growing.

We are so grateful for your continued love and support. We can’t do what we do without all of you. 🩵🧡

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Rose are red, violets are blue. Happy Valentine’s Day from your Freedom Crew!!

Hey Freedom Fam, we know there is so much LOVE in the air but we also recognize that a lot of people are hurting in this season and these holidays are hard for some.

We just wanted to drop a quick note to tell you that we see you and that we are praying for you today. We want you to know that you are not alone and that you truly are so very loved.

Even if you don’t feel the love in the people around you, oof - or even within you, the Creator of the Universe loves you deeply….So deeply that He saw fit to die for you.

God truly wrote the greatest love story ever told and even though we don’t know the next chapter, we know the ending.

This Valentine’s Day, no matter if you are celebrating or grieving - or both - we pray that, above all, you personally experience the love, hope and freedom of Jesus Christ.

From our family to yours - we love you 🩵🧡
