We dreamed and dreamed of opening a Christian business in our community. After much prayer and dreaming of different options( coffee shop, bakery, amongst others), we finally felt a peace about a thrift store. We started looking for a building and God gave us one that was an old hardware store. We, along with many work groups and willing staff, tore down walls and shelves and cleaned, painted, scraped, built, sorted, stocked and brainstormed! We have now been open 8 months and God is blessing the store and bringing so many good relationships and connections in our community. It’ s just what we wanted and dreamed of. We have an incredible staff and they blow us out of the water daily. We couldn’ t do this without them!
