Exciting day @ The Exchange

Thanks to all the volunteers who gave up their Saturday to come over to The Exchange and help transform this 100 year old building into a place of re-purpose. Here are the latest photos…

Photos of The Exchange coming together.

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…

Fixing the security lighting.

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.

 

More than a thrift store

Lighting up a blind man’s life.

This past Saturday three students from Johnson University helped a local resident who is blind hang Christmas lights on his home.

Three students for Johnson University love their neighbor by hanging Christmas lights.

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.
