Let’s first get the coffee espresso snob question out of the way:
What’s “your” espresso drink? Or are you a tea person?
In the face of some incredibly shocking statistics about extreme global poverty, it’s easy and understandable to feel paralyzed. I’ve often felt this way but instead of feeling the burden to change the world, just think about making an impact on one person, or one family, or one small village.
As some of you know, I also serve as the executive director of a non-profit community cafe called Q Cafe. I’m joined on the Advisory Board by Read the rest of this entry »
Quest Global Presence and Q Cafe invite you to join us for a special film screening of LUMO on Thursday, October 25. LUMO is an award winning documentary about a young Congolese woman named LUMO that aired on PBS just last month. Doors open at 6.30pm and film begins at 7pm. Conversation and discussion will take place after the film. Donations will also be received and ALL proceeds will go directly to the work at Heal Africa – the hospital and community development ministry where Lumo received medical treatment. Last year, I wrote a post on the Cooper Anderson’s heart wrenching report about what he witnessed in Congo and the work at Heal Africa. Couple of our church friends, Dick and Judy, are deeply invested with Heal Africa. Here’s the latest from their blog:
Let me introduce you to two of my [current] favorite musicians: Tyrone Wells and Blue Scholars. I can’t get them out of my head. Two different genres but both are so very talented.
Q Cafe is a non-profit cafe that also doubles as a music venue. This non-religious cafe was birthed and funded by Quest Church in the church’s desire to invest in the city and culture of Seattle.

So, every now and then, we get to host or invite a variety of musicians. Tyrone Wells is playing the Q next week and we’re begging to get Blue Scholars to headline a hip-hop show in the next year. That would be so sweet. Read the rest of this entry »
if you’re in the city, one of my favorites acts to play at Q Cafe is coming back from california to play the venue. come and check out tyrone wells at 8pm tonight. it sucks that i won’t be able to make it out as i’m doing some stuff which i’ll post about in a day or so. couple musicians are opening up for the main act. i believe the cover is $7. good or bad – tyrone wells will make it big in the next three years.
its really true. everyone in seattle is a musician. everyone’s in a band. everyone’s in with eddie vedder. everyone’s in with dave matthews. and if you’re not in a band, you just lie and say you’re still in a band. and if you want to skirt around the idea, you just say, ‘i’m an artist.‘ but let me just say, i love seattle because it has so many musicians, artists, and creative folks. this is one of the highlights we have had in planting quest church five years ago: we have met such a diverse community of people – especially entrepreneurs, social workers, globally minded folks, artists, and musicians.
