Changing Shop...

Looks like we will be changing locations of our coffee shop. You learn things as you go in all things in life, including opening up a business. The things we thought made our current location ideal have turned out ot have some negatives too. We are right on the corner - which we loved the idea of that - but along with it has come a lot of noise from the street, exhaust fumes from all the buses driving by, dust and dirt and occasional flooding since we are in the rainy season. Our landlord has expanded and built a little shopping plaza right alongside our current coffee shop. He offered us the option to change locations if we were interested. After some analyzing we think we are going to do it. The new spot is very close to our current location (less than half a block and in the same little plaza). It is upstairs (which seems to be the only downside because it is not as convenient as right off the street) - but the rent price is the same, the space is a little bigger, it has a glass door and windows all along the front, and still has a great view from the street. We believe that it will be quieter, cleaner, cozier, and provide an environment that will allow us to have the kids up there a little more often (they love to be at the coffee shop - but our current spot is wide open to a busy street and is pretty much impossible to contain 2 toddlers safely). So in the next week or so we will change things around. We feel like it is great timing to expand our hours also. We think we will have much more business as this plaza opens with 10 or so more businesses attracting people to the area. We ask for your prayers through this transition and for God to expand this ministry to introduce us to more people. Ultimately we pray for a chance to shine Jesus and to draw more to Him.
