Serving A Cup of Life Podcast

The history of Seek The Lamb and the Rio Coco Cafes has provided us with experiences and personalities that help us understand God's Adventure for us and encourage us in new chapters. Join your host Lukas Bagby along with Michael Bagby for stimulating and encouraging discussions designed to help others in their own adventures.

We never planned to be in the coffee business nor open a coffee store, yet God has a plan and it became apparent step by step. Join two of the founders of the Rio Coco Cafe as they encourage you in your adventure with the Lord!

As a 17 year old, Dr. Lou Zako became friends with Archbishop Samuel, who became world famous when he purchased the first discovered Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 from the Bedouin shepherd Mohhamed Dib. Join us as Lou tells us his incredible story.

Lukas Bagby was born in Honduras, and has lived in Hawaii, Florida, Israel and traveled throughout western Europe. How does this experience form his world view? How has his life experience contributed to his understanding of current events? What perspectives can he share with those not fortunate to have been "dragged around the world"? 

Lukas shares the perspective of his generation toward the spiritual world with some personal experiences and thoughts on the causes and cures for this pervasive anxiety and depression that exists in our culture.

In the 1980's & 90's, there was a small group of pilots who lived in the most remote corner of Central America in a very 'Fourth World' environment inhabited by an indigenious people called the Miskitos. With no roads to the civilized parts of Honduras and Nicaragua, airplanes were a valuable tool. Michael named this group of intrepid aviators "The Miskito Air Force'. Join us for an adventure!

After the discussion of the Miskito Air Force, Lukas had many questions about Michael's years as a Naval Aviator, flying the A-6 Intruider off of the USS Kitty Hawk, USS Enterprise and USS Coral Sea. If you have seen either of the Top Gun movies, you will want to join in this discussion.

One of the pilots of the Miskito Air Force was Jack Dyer. a successful engineer from Banton Rouge, became one of the most famous bush pilots in Honduras during the refugee crisis of the Nicaraguan Sandinista Contra war, when over 60,000 refugees fled across the Coco River into neighboring Honduras. Jack later became famous as the leading dairy farmer of La Ceiba Honduras, and then traveled to the Himalaya Mountains of India where he built a hospital wing, became friends with the Daili Lama, and taught the Bible to a group of Buddhist monks.  Jack was the one who taught Michael the skills required to be a successful bush pilot.

He was a World War II Air Corp pilot that flew fighters, bombers and transports from North America to Europe, Africa and the Middle East. He participated in the famous Berlin Airlift. He invented the lightweight headset and started the company Plantronics, and then ACS and then ProTech Communications, making millions of dollars which he happily gave away to feed children in Haiti, support pastors in India, provide medical relief throughout the Caribbean, and help us in our education project among the Miskito Indians. He was one of the most natural pilots I have ever flow with, and a man that God used in a very significant manner. Join us as we tell the true story of "Sky' Keith Larkin.

Craig englert became a follower of Jesus in Hawaii and was part of the "Jesus Revolution' that happened in Hawaii a few years before the California Jesus revolution. Tune into this discussion of a historical move of God that brought many into His Kingdom using a young man who didn't go to Bible school, have any pastoral credentials and was one of the most unlikely persons to become a Christian.

After the Jesus Revolution in Hawaii, Craign Englert moved to California where he met Ralph Moore, the founder of the Hope Chapel movement that has planted over 2000 churches and ministries. Craig came to Maui in 1980 to start the first Hope Chapel in Hawaii, in Kihei on Maui. Craig pastored the church over 40 years which resulted in three church plants on Maui, one in Washinton, a Hope Chapel in Brazil, and ministries in Bulgaria, Honduras and Nicaragua, along with church planting in Europe. Craig's story is an encouragement for everyone who is called to make disciples.
