A Divine Encounter Café — Restaurant in Fort Wayne

After work, I like to get breakfast at A Divine Encounter Cafe. God centered business, amazing staff and owner, and delicious food. It’s the only restaurant I frequent.

There are many stories I could tell you about Betty’s impact on people, and how I’ve seen God move in her cafe. But I’ll tell you about today.

First thing this morning, Betty got a group of strangers into a prayer circle. On my left was a roofing inspector, and on my right was a church pastor. As I held those mens hands, I realized I’m more comfortable around broken, dysfunctional, violent, mentally ill people than “regular” people.

Initially I thought, “there’s something wrong with me. I’m fundamentally broken somewhere deep inside.” So, I decided to scarf down my meal and be the first one to leave.

But Betty came out to my car, and God spoke to me. Her words didn’t matter too much, because the Holy Spirit in her said “there’s nothing wrong with you. I chose your parents. I put you in that family. I raised you in that house. I made you who you are for a reason. You are not broken. You are the instrument I designed you to be, created to complete the work only you can do.”

As a psychiatric nurse I feel obligated to mention that I’m not delusional, and I wasn’t having an auditory hallucination of Gods voice. The words quoted above were only placed there to communicate to you the message that found my heart in that moment.

But perhaps there’s someone else who needs to hear those words. There’s nothing wrong with you. You are not broken. God made you who you are for a reason and He has a plan for you, one that will bring Him glory and give...

While in Ft. Wayne I was looking for a breakfast place on Google & found a place that looked like they had several healthy options. My wife's diet is extremely limited, for health reasons, so I figured this would be right up our alley.. & it was 5 minutes away. PERFECT. It was called A Divine Encounter Café & the food was delicious, but the experience was like none that I've ever had at any restaurant before. We were met with a warm greeting from Miss Betty & immediately felt right at home. She began sharing her testimony about how overcoming drug addiction through her faith led her to opening the restaurant. Once sober she felt better putting healthy food in her body & wanted to make healthy food available for others. She also told us that she provided work opportunities for others that were down on their luck & needed a fresh start getting on their feet. She had our undivided attention with her story, but politely excused herself because the longer we talked, the longer we'd have to wait on our food.. she was also the cook! Our dishes came out in little to no time, but were definitely worth the wait. Everything was hot, fresh, & delicious. After we ate, Miss Betty introduced us to a few others that were still in the Café, & before we all left.. she gathered us together for a prayer before we all headed out in our different directions. I'm not sure when I'll be in Ft. Wayne again, but whenever it may be.. I'll be stopping in Miss Betty's Café for another...
