(2100 CHAPEL HILL ROAD, DURHAM, NC 27707) Qualifying low-income parents are invited each year to purchase items through the store. These items are sold at nominal prices. The money is used in crisis ministry. Why charge? Many shoppers are recipients of crisis ministry. They want to have a part in helping someone else. Also, parents want and need to have a tangible part in providing for their children at Christmas. We believe that this is every parent s desire. The Christmas Toy Store Ministry provides this opportunity. Counselors share the Gospel with all who shop. Families receive Bibles and other materials. Each year, we have found ways to provide ministries to families thoughout the year.
