That big property tax bill is paid! And the best news.... our North Ave Thrift Store is doing well so it's so exciting to be able to use those funds for our overhead including extra expenses like a one-time property tax bill. This way donated funds by supporters goes right into missions projects. Yes, we did change from a lease to a purchase on the property where we are located. Yes, we are a tax exempt organization. However, since the building was not owned by us on January 1st we have to pay this tax bill. We received a credit on the closing costs for the previous owners half of the tax bill. But when it's all said and done we still had to come up with the total tax bill amount of $2,702.78. As a non-profit ministry we want all the funding possible to go to our charitable purpose which of course is resourcing missionaries. However, we do have to keep in mind that there will come days when maintenance issues will arise either with our vehicle, cargo trailer and/or building. So it's a constant challenge of being fiscally responsible yet funding the missions projects God directs our way. It's an exciting day today to know the check for the taxes is in the mail (no really, it is....). It goes without saying (but we'll say it anyway) that God is soooooooo good!
