I love the Role Models of America store.... we have helped thousands of families over the years here, had a innumerable amount of ministry opportunities happen right here in the store, have regular prayer for people who shop here, seen provision come through for NL, it's a missions base for supplies for shipments to the needy (in the millions now) Everything here is neat, organized and clean.... just need more space for our workers and the people.
It's my favorite place of ministry! I am known as Pastor Gayla to everyone who comes here - shoppers, our Community Service workers, and families in need. It's 'church' on a whole different scale.
This week I have been enjoying time spent in the store making upgrades. It takes pre-planning, measuring, crews scheduled, and staff outlined to all smoothly make a big transition while not disturbing our shoppers. A challenge I am up for!
I have prayed for a new shoe system store wide for women's, men's boys and girls depts. And the day has arrived and I have what I have prayed for. My new fixtures will triple my space - it's a good thing. My crews arrive..... I start with the inside isles while it's early and quiet we will work from the inside to the outside isles.I didn't take many shots.... just too busy!
My new fixtures look great! Out with the old black iron ones and in with the new updated look.
Can you see behind the rack at the back wall.... these are the new shoe racks in the ladies dept.
Old display....
New display with a crackle finish, each area can hold triple stock now.
In one day the entire store is transformed....
The shoppers will feel greater love.... our family clients will have a more enhanced view of what is given to them..... our CS will take greater pride in their work.... the employees enjoy a more update and professional workplace. And I get to enjoy the beauty, the fun of it all!!
Now what's next..... it's been a dream day...... joy job!
This isn't just a regular thrift store..... it's ministry on a awesome level! If you are in Houston Tx... come by and support this incredible place.
