To catch everyone up. By November of last year it became obvious to us in LIVE-IT that God was moving the ministry to open a thrift store to help fund the projects we do in the community. It has been an amazing journey to watch him bring people, material, and donations to this 100 year old warehouse we are calling The Exchange. We’re believing this will be so much more than a Thrift Store. Here are some photos of the initial progress. Stay tuned…
Looks like fun right? We will be meeting at “The Exchange” the new LIVE-IT Thrift Store this Saturday, January 21st at 8:30 am. Come and join us…we have lots to do.
Bless you all.
The Exchange Video : What if a 100 year old building became a place of re-purpose for more than just thrift items? What if the people we serve find new purpose to serve their neighbors?

This past Saturday three students from Johnson University helped a local resident who is blind hang Christmas lights on his home.
The project started when Rick (The home owner) called his church and asked if they could help him hang Christmas lights on his home. Although Rick is blind, he wanted to help spread his Christmas cheer in his neighbornood. Rick’s church partners with LIVE-IT and activated the “Love Your Neighbor” Network and Rick is now sporting his Cheer to all who pass by his home.

Thanks again to all those who made Mary’s House a reality. Here’s lots of pictures from start to finish.

This mare that was pregnant and injured during the tornados (Scar on her neck) gave birth to this colt during the project.

Thanks to Mark at HIS Landscaping for working so hard to get the outside of Mary's house so beautiful.

“CRUNCH TIME”

Pure and lasting religion in the sight of God our Father means that we must care for orphans and widows in their troubles, and refuse to let the world corrupt us. James 1:27
Mary lost her home on April 27th to a tornado in a series of unprecedented storms. When we spoke with Mary a month and a half later, she spoke of trusting in the Lord. Many may not understand why a widow who just lost her home and everything in it, and had no insurance, would stand firm in her hope that God would provide for her. On September 2, 2011 Mary walked through the front door of her new house. Over 160 volunteers gave thousands of hours in 7 days to build Mary a new home. Using their hands...God did provide. Enjoy the photos.
Thanks to those who responded to the call. Next: Photos of the construction.
