I am absolutely delighted to start the Fluid 2014 keynote introductions with Eugene Cho. If you were at Fluid 2013, you will most definitely remember him as he closed out the conference during the evening session with a timely and challenging message from Daniel chapter six. He was so fantastic that I had to bring him back again this year just to make sure that those of you who missed him last year won’t make the same mistake again! ha.

So a little bit about Eugene then! Eugene is the founder and executive director of One Day’s Wages – “a movement of people, stories, and actions to alleviate extreme global poverty.” He is also the founding and lead pastor of Quest Church and the founder/executive director of Q Cafe – a unique non-profit community cafe and music venue in Seattle. Born in Korea, he immigrated to the United States 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 17+ years and have three children.

When not enjoying his family, neighborhood, and various local ministries, he travels nationally and globally to speak on issues of faith, justice, leadership, non-profits, social entrepreneurship, and other pertinent issues that people will forget when the next fads are introduced (Eugene’s words not mine!)

Eugene blogs regularly and is considered one of the average bloggers on issues of Faith, Leadership, Justice, Ministry, and utilizing social media for good.
