Can coffee fuel evangelism? If it’s Tommy’s Coffee, then “yes!” say directors Luke Porter and Joel Barwick, who founded the kingdom-building coffee ministry last year.
The coffee cart, based in St Thomas’ Church, Newcastle, first started serving customers in May with a mission to simultaneously caffeinate and connect with the city’s residents.
Both on staff at the church, Porter, the creative director, and Barwick, St Thomas’ youth pastor, had the idea for a church coffee shop back in 2019 after a free pizza outreach.
