Matthew Ludwikowski -Drink Coffee. Do Good.

Come hear how Land Of A Thousand Hills Coffee based in Roswell is investing in the lives and communities torn apart by genocide in Rwanda. We will discuss the story of Redemption through coffee, and how as Christians we should be the first to engage by being intentional about our morning cup. Drink Coffee. Do Good.

Matthew Ludwikowski has been working in the specialty coffee industry for over 5 years. He is a self-professed coffee enthusiast and researcher.  Currently working for Land Of A Thousand Hills his efforts are in ensuring coffee excellence through building community in Rwanda as well as here in the states, enabling justice for the coffee farmer.  His passion for coffee and to “Do Good” through it stems directly from his desire to serve others.  Matt is always excited to share his story and heart for how coffee is playing a role in reconciliation for the Rwanda people.  Matt is also an avid beer enthusiast and home brewer.
