Dear Friends & Brothers,
In May, we traveled to Estelí, Nicaragua, the heart of the premium cigar industry. We expected to learn about to***co, ci**rs, and craftsmanship.
Instead, we found a mission.
Through our partnership with Reform Ci**rs, we met pastors, missionaries, business owners, and families who are faithfully serving their communities through Iglesia Bíblica Reformada and other outreach efforts throughout Estelí.
That experience changed our understanding of what Ember & Ash is meant to become.
Our mission is simple and two-fold.
First, we are building a place where men can gather in brotherhood, grow in their faith, encourage one another, and become stronger leaders in their homes, businesses, churches, and communities.
Second, we are committed to supporting the people and ministries we encountered in Nicaragua. Through long-term partnerships, we hope to help serve families, strengthen local outreach efforts, and support the work God is already doing in Estelí.
Since returning home, Ember & Ash have already made our first contribution to Iglesia Bíblica Reformada. While modest, it's the start of what we believe will become a lasting commitment.
We traveled to Nicaragua looking for to***co.
We returned with relationships, purpose, and a calling.
As we continue building Ember & Ash, we invite you to join us. Whether through prayer, membership, financial support, or simply sharing our story, you become part of something larger than a lounge.
Together, we can strengthen men here at home while helping support meaningful work in Nicaragua.
With gratitude,
Brewse & Brett - Founders, Ember & Ash
