During a time when so many people are struggling with their own finances, our expanding chain of shops is more and more the lifeblood of the cash needed to support our work. For Christians and churches looking to reach out to the desperate and deprived both here and overseas, supporting one of our existing 22 shops, or helping us start a brand new one, is a great form of ministry.
