2005-2008 Resale Furniture Shop

The Christian Inn Resale Furniture Shop ministered to over 50 men & women during 3 1/2 years of service, with many going on to full time employment. Presently a new location is being sought to not only house women coming out of prison but to also provide a safe work experience for them.
