SPRING HILL, Tenn., May 8, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- When Spring Hill's Wind Farm Café opened in 2011, many locals might have assumed that it was just another upstart coffee house. But instead of plans for a global caffeine-infused empire, the Daily Audio Bible-owned café is intent on serving the community -- both local and far beyond our American shores.
Wind Farm Café is the first community building effort that seeks to localize Daily Audio Bible listeners and unite them in fellowship. With over 1.5 million listens monthly and nearly 52 million downloads, Daily Audio Bible is one of the most-listened-to podcasts in the world. Created by Hardin in 2005, Daily Audio Bible is one of the world wide web's biggest success stories, and is now available in five languages, including the newly launched Arabic format.
Already a popular cornerstone in the booming Nashville suburb, Wind Farm Café is taking a bold step by now offering free coffee daily from 7am-10am with no strings attached. "It was our hope to give Spring Hill it's morning coffee for free," explains Daily Audio Bible founder Brian Hardin. "Although it makes no business sense, we're going to go for it. The cafe is a non-profit entity and anyone who wants to throw a buck or two in the jar is welcome to do so. But at the end of the day, we're here to love Spring Hill, and that's what we want to do."
Later this month, the community will have an opportunity to serve others in a project that will literally change lives on the other side of the planet. In mid-May, a 40-foot cargo container will arrive in the Wind Farm Café parking lot. Over the course of 30 days, the container will be transformed into a state-of-the-art classroom. It will then be picked up and put on a ship sailing for Butare, Rwanda. In October, the community is invited to join Daily Audio Bible team members for a trip to Butare, to spend a week serving those in need in the land torn by genocide.
"The classroom will be a gift from the Daily Audio Bible and the people of Spring Hill, Tennessee," says Hardin. "It's a gift from our children to their children. In the weeks to come, we will offer ways for the local community, churches and businesses to partner with Daily Audio Bible in making this a reality."
In time, Hardin hopes to open additional Wind Farm Café locations to help bridge the gaps of distance between believers united by the unique ministry experience, while staying on neutral ground for those who haven't felt welcome in traditional church settings.
In December, Christian publishing giant Zondervan released Hardin’s debut book, "PASSAGES: How Reading the Bible in a Year Will Change Everything for You," which is designed to help readers learn that the Bible was meant to be read in bigger portions, in the way people read every other book, rather than the oneverseatatime method that nullifies the big picture of Scripture. This new, exciting method motivates readers to start a daily Bible reading program that can change their lives as they rediscover the joy -- rather than the routine people often make it -- of reading God's Word.
