Kasey Parker is a friend and fellow believer from America. Here is her experience of GKafee:
As I was standing outside of the coffee tent at the KKNK Art Festival, a young lady started walking my way carrying with her all different sizes of feather dusters in all kinds of vibrant colors. As I offered her some water I noticed how hot she must have been from walking around all day with all the dusters encircling her, so I invited her into the tent to sit and rest for awhile. It was no surprise when she gladly accepted.
During the next hour or longer she had told be all about her family, school, and dreams. One of her biggest dreams was to start her own designer line just doing what she loves to do the most. Although she didn't have much to work with and only had her hands to do hours upon hours of sewing and stitching she was full of joy and pride each time she accomplished another one of her projects.
A few mornings later she came back to give me a gift. She had stayed up late the previous night drawing sketch after sketch of some of her many ideas for dresses and compiled them into her first binder she had received to hold her sketches. I was so touched by her thoughtfulness and have looked through that sketchbook many times since.
It amazes me every time to see what just a free smile, drink, and a listening ear can do for a person. God taught me a lot about the importance of not judging, but instead to lift up people and to encourage them. Mainly to be, simply, a friend who is willing to take the time to listen.
