Miami's Truth Cafe Give Gospel Rappers Exposure

Often, Minister Chris Everett had heard some of his young Christian friends lament over the fact that, aside from church, there was no place for them to fellowship or showcase their Christian talents.
``I prayed,'' he said, ``about how God's people can stay focused and not compromise their salvation, like going to secular nightclubs. Then, the idea came to me to start the Truth Cafe.''

Everett describes the Truth Cafe as a place ``. . . where only Christian music is being played and pauses every now and then for entertainers to sing, do poetry or gospel rap, then this is the place to be.''

The cafe opened Aug. 28, and every second and fourth Saturday of the month, Christians, young and old, are invited to the cafe at 16400 NW 15th Ave. in Miami Gardens, for live gospel entertainment, socializing, business networking, ``delicious food'' and fellowship, he said.

``So far, it's been going quite well. We've had some big names to come in such as the recording gospel group King and Willing, another gospel group.''

Admission into the Truth Café is $10 per person and doors open at 8 p.m. If you want to share your Christian talent, contact Everett at 786-262-3181.

At Gospel Elevations we believe that everyone who ministers through gospel rap should be given a chance to share what God is doing through them. We offer free exposure to artist from around the world. If you know of any events in your area we Christian rappers are ministering please let us know.
