The agreement that placed Promise World inside Vernon Slade's abandoned tire shop for one hundred and fifty dollars a month.
Two descriptions
The lease became the first door Beau persuaded another man to open.
The agreement excluded heat, cooling, repairs, trash removal, and any right to complain about the smell. The building was not donated. Prayer reduced the rent by twenty-five dollars.
Selected excerpt
Requested rent: $175 per month.
Agreed rent: $150 per month.
Utilities, repairs, trash removal, heating, and cooling were not included.
Beau offered one hundred and twenty-five dollars, regular prayer, and improvements made by church members. Vernon valued the prayer at twenty-five dollars rather than fifty.
The lease gave the congregation a room. It did not make the room safe, comfortable, solvent, or permanent. Every later claim of miraculous beginnings rests on a commercial agreement Beau still had to pay Monday morning.
