Love and Sacrifice through your business, with Sam Dick

About this episode

Sam Dick discusses how his coffee business integrates faith and promotes community restoration in Myanmar.

When Sam Dick and his partners brought the first green coffee beans from Myanmar to Canada, they weren’t just starting a coffee company — they were stepping into a story of hope, dignity, and transformation. As co-owner of Lighthouse Coffee , Sam has seen firsthand how business can restore communities and provide alternatives to harmful industries like opium farming. By partnering with local producers in Myanmar through Bright Lantern Coffee, Lighthouse Coffee is helping families move toward sustainability and purpose, while also roasting high-quality beans for coffee lovers across Canada. In this episode, Sam shares his journey of integrating faith and business, what it means to steward even the smallest beginnings for Kingdom impact, and how everyday purchasing decisions — like the coffee in your breakroom — can ripple across the world.
