Name: Eugene E. Cho

Age: 39 years old and counting

Birthplace: Seoul, Korea // Hometown: San Francisco // Current: Seattle

Brief Bio: Eugene is the co-founder (w/ his wife) and executive director of One Day’s Wages – an international grassroots movement dedicated to ending extreme global poverty.  He is also the founding & lead pastor of Quest Church and the founder & executive director of Q Cafe. Born in Korea, he immigrated to the U.S. at age six and grew up in San Francisco. He trekked out to the East Coast for several years, returned to the HomeLand of the Morning Calm [South Korea] for couple years, and now lives in Seattle with his family.

He and his wife, Minhee, have been married for twelve years and have three kids. In the truest sense, Eugene is lost, wicked, and depraved but redeemed by the grace and beauty of God. Blessed by revelation and compelled to respond as a herald of creation, incarnation, and resurrection and an advocate for issues of mercy, justice, and compassion.

He hasn’t published squat and is not a very highly sought out speaker but finds joy in knowing that he’s still pursued by his wife and three children.

Eugene blogs regularly at http://eugenecho.com and is considered one of the most prominent bloggers on issues of Justice, Faith, Ministry, and utilizing social media for good. He also serves as one of the Contributing Editors of Sojourners Magazine.

The views, words, posts, thoughts, rants, visions, and ideas represented here are my own, not those of One Day’s Wages, Quest Church, Q Cafe, my family, my ethnic Korean countrypeople, the city of Seattle where I live, the USA of which I am a citizen, or the totality of the Christian faith and community. As I spew out some vomitaceous thoughts for conversation, connection, amusement, and critical discourse, I seek to grant and receive grace.
