"Put it out there"

"Put it out there." 
That was Tabitha's advice last night. 

So I am going to ask for your prayers, and input on an oportunity.  As many of you know my parents have worked for years in developing a healthy work ethic, and a vision for the opportunities around  people in Honduras.

As a part of that effort they have for the past few years been working with soapberries. For those who do not know they are basically a natural soap that grows on trees. Soap berries have four known major applications: they are used for personal hygiene and cosmetics, household cleaning, commercially they are used as natural surfactants and they have several uses as insect inhibitors. For more information head over to www.soapberryharvest.com.

Or Wikipedia for a brief overview  ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapindus )

My parents are now in a position to export a large quantity and need somone to be a U.S. distributor. 

We are seriously considering the possibility. We would need to find money for startup costs, and get a small buisness organized, licensed and operating. There are a number of good things that could come of this, but at the same time there are a large number of hurdles. 

I'm curious as to what input you would have? Or investment capital? Or experience in sales? Or wisdom about how to go about this?

I would especially appreciate your prayers as we work through some of these details, and figure out what our options are.
