For more than two years, a Christian coffee shop in Colorado founded to help the homeless with job training and social mobility has faced a barrage of protests from communists and LGBTQ protesters. Jamie Sanchez, the owner of the embattled Christian coffee shop Drip Cafe, which is operated through his nonprofit Recycle God's Love, joined CBN News to provide an update on the monthly protests.
Rather than confront protestors who assemble the first Friday of every month outside the coffee shop, Sanchez said he and other believers came up with a powerful response: worship. "We've gone through a whole progression of how we wanted to react to this situation, and that's just the key right there is: we were reacting," he said. "And so that's what they wanted, and we realized that, and, so, quite honestly, we just ignore them now." Sanchez continued, "What we've done is: we actually shifted our focus from trying to react to them to worshiping God."
So, on the first Friday of every month, Drip Cafe partners with a local worship leader to host a live worship night, belting out songs to the Lord. "We just have the door wide open, and we worship the Lord, and that music flows out into the street," he said. "And, quite honestly, I forget that they're even there until I'm walking out of my cafe and they're like screaming in my face, calling me names. I'm like, 'Oh yeah, I forgot you guys were here. I was too busy praising the Lord because He's the one who deserves the attention.'" As a result of shifting focus from being reactive to hosting praise, Sanchez said the fruit has been incredible. In fact, the ministry is seeing lives changed through the worship nights, with individuals who knew nothing about the ongoing protests stumbling upon the shop and connecting with the Lord.
"Honestly, it's happening because of the protest," he said. "All these things are happening to glorify God because the enemy tried some tricks, and [God] is using [it] for good." Sanchez said the building is sometimes so packed with people worshipping that it's standing-room-only. It's a creative response to a protest that has been ongoing for more than two years and shows no signs of slowing down. Ultimately, Sanchez said he knows the battle isn't a mere temporal issue.
