What do chickens have to do with thrift stores?

Normally chickens don't have much to do with thrift stores, but in this case, they do! Let me explain... Jeff and Susan Moore, a couple that supports our ministry and founders of Global Missions Outreach, are in the process of opening a thrift store in the Atlanta area to support mission work on a local and global level. The Lord has laid it on their hearts to give a portion of the monthly proceeds from their store, Lighthouse Thrift Store, to help us plant churches in Italy! We are so excited about this partnership with GMO and so thankful for Jeff's and Susan's hearts to see Italians come to Christ.

The Moores are currently raising start-up funds for the thrift store and are selling 2012 Chick-fil-A calendars for $8 each. Each calendar includes coupons for free Chick-fil-A menu items and $4 from each calendar sale will go to GMO to help them launch the store. Lighthouse Thrift Store will not only help fund our work in Italy, but also orphanages in Uganda and local community ministries. If you would like to purchase a calendar, please send me an email at brandy@theverners.org.

Also, Jeff and Susan are collecting donations to stock the store. If you have items you would like to donate, send an email to gmissionsoutreach@att.net. To check progress on the store opening, check GMO's blog at www.globalmissionsoutreach.blogspot.com.
