Help Tea Room Get Ready to Open!
Donation protected
Spending time in ministries for women over the years, I have had a desire to have a place so beautiful and so full of acceptance and love for every woman of every circumstance to be a part of. About 20 years ago, I began to dream of having a business that would support the ministry side and create training to encourage others to open their hearts and homes up to women they knew to share about God's grace and glory!
Since our move to Branson, Missouri, about 15 years ago, my husband and I have been in prayer seeking for the right place and timing for this to happen. In October of 2013, we stepped out with an online funding of $20,000 and our hearts full of faith to lease the building directly across the street from our driveway which is also in a prime place on the 76 entertainment strip of Branson, Missouri. We had no idea how far the first funds would take us or how the next amount would come in, but we began our journey joyfully creating the place I had dreamed about for so long!
The building is such a nice size and gives us space for a boutique, a nice dining area, a kitchen, two restrooms, an office, and a great room for little girl tea parties to take place in! It has been a real joy to work alongside my husband and a couple of guys to remove walls, build walls, and decorate in a beautiful fashion. As pictures will show, we look ready to open! However, this was not originally a restuarant, and we are creating the kitchen area for it. Although we were able to get funding from a local bank this past fall, we were not able to get the full amount we needed to include all of the kitchen expense to finish according to city regulations, etc.
We are so close and it is getting difficult now to pay the lease month after month without any income coming in yet due to this stall on the kitchen needs. We are looking for funding of about $25,000 or more to finish out. If you read this and you know of someone or some organization we can get the funding from, please let us know! In the meantime, several have suggested that we open up a go fund me account and let those who desire to see us get open help us out toward our goal. It is humbling to do this, but we believe the Lord uses people in our lives and it does not all depend on ourselves or our own efforts to find things.
So, here it is, and I just lift this up to the Lord. I have no idea how He will supply our needs, but I know His promise is to supply our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus our Lord. Philippians 4:19
When we open, we believe this will be a great place for our community needs and a wonderful place for the Lord's Name and Love to be seen and felt by tourists who come to our city!
God bless all who come, who read, who pray for us, and who are led by His Spirit to give to the cause. Love you all whether we have met yet or not!
