tear each other down . The one difference is no one knows us here ; we had to make all new friends . But that is not what makes someone a missionary . At least not that I know about .
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 !
