This clever play on the famous Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego story in the bible is the inspiration for the beginning of a small, local coffee shop in Michigan. The story is in Daniel and the founders cite the reasonings for this allusion in their website.  “It is a story of courage and bravery, patience and perseverance, strength and peace in the face of danger, and above all, faith.” They talk about these three men who had the faith and courage to do what was right and that took them out of the fire without a mark.

Coffee is something that brings people of all kinds together and people are constantly looking for the coolest new spot.  ABeanToGo uses their cool atmosphere and freshly roasted coffee as a way to bring people into their store.  There is no better way to disciple or make connections with people than over a good cup of coffee and the owners of this cafe feel the same.  They are all about fostering the local talents and culture and bringing together the community around them.  They may not necessarily have the largest range of “Kingdom Impact” but are sure making a difference in their small town.
