So what would happen if Starbucks marketed the way Churches do? Here’s a video that explores that idea. Enjoy!

What do you think?

It was a fascinating journey told through food and the personal story of Saba Tewolde. Saba grew up in Ethiopia during the 80′s. Most will remember the intense famine that griped the country during that time. The country and it’s hardships set a compelling background for Saba’s story without defining who she is.

The food was amazing as we were served traditional Ethiopian dishes, starting with Fitfit, a spicy bread and tomatoe appetizer. The main course was composed of  a Key Wat (a beef stew), Misir Wat (a lentil stew), Gomen (Kale and potatoes) and a salata. All were to be eaten using the traditional Ethiopian bread, Injera. The dinner was followed by a chocolate cake, and most importantly, coffee. Coffee is extreamely important to Ethiopia as it was discovered there and is a cheif export of the country.

If it was just dinner alone, I would recommend an evening with Taste of Hope, but after dinner we got to hear Saba’s story and her passion for helping her country. There were not many dry eyes as Saba spoke about her journey from Ethiopia to Saudi Arabia, through Europe and finally becoming a political refuge here in America. Her testimony of how God has led her and her hope for Ethipoia’s furture were heart felt and demand the listener take some action.

Watch the video before continuing…

As you ask yourself the question, how do you answer? I thought it was very interesting how selfish most of the answers are, including our own. The answer I was impressed with, was a guy who answered very differently then I thought. Which leads to the next thought.

What ideas did you have about each speaker before they answered the question? What do you think that says about you? Is that something you want to change?
