“Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.”

Proverbs 12:22 NASB95

In the cafe trade, every cup is a small covenant. We promise a Restarter a second chance. We promise the guest a fair brew. We promise our funders that their gift will steward lives, not line pockets.

In Changi I learned how quickly deceit unravels a soul. Now at The Gateway, with rent set far below market by Jonathan Eu’s grace, I feel the holy weight of being trusted — by Siew Yeun, by every Restarter watching whether I keep my word. Integrity is not glamour. It is the quiet faithfulness the Lord delights in. Even when no one else sees, He does. And His delight is enough.

Prayer: Father, let my lips speak truth and my hands deal faithfully. May TCE be known for integrity before it is ever known for coffee. Amen.

Soli Deo Gloria
