Hearts for the children&Mount Zion Church

HEARTS FOR THE CHILDREN MINISTRY &
MOUNT ZION CHURCH.
Many of you know that construction of our new Church started four years ago however due to an unfortunate set of circumstances the work was halted primarily for lack of funds.
Turning to God and asking for His provision for four years was an interesting journey. The workings of our Lord are so mysterious and at time seem so crazy. Because He is almighty we always need to keep in mind that He is supreme in all things. As we waited and waited He was choosing the people He wanted to use for this wonderful work. Again the most unusual people, from the most unusual places, to do a most unusual work
Our fund raising was low key to say the least. God’s was a much more powerful and in-depth move, that moved in the hearts of His loyal and blessed children.
All donations that came in over the past two or three months went directly into the construction project. We Praise God for all the hearts that blessed this project. The engine that God used to raise the majority of the funds was Dale Hajost and Due West United Methodist Church in Marietta GA. They do give God all of the Honor and Glory.
Although the funding that came in is a blessing, there are always over runs, particularly in Guatemala. We are at 90% of the budget and are calling on our Brothers and Sisters, allied Churches and friends to weigh in. We need between ten and twelve thousand dollars to complete this very exciting work of God. There are very few Churches in Guatemala that are as beautiful as Mount Zion. We are entering the rainy season and our Tent Church cannot hold up much longer. Whatever you can give will be a blessing to our Lord.
The location is divine, high on a mountain top overlooking Guatemala City on the same spot Tom and Elizabeth envisioned building a Church fifteen years earlier. It is a very modern two story building with lots of offices and classrooms, kitchen, washrooms, dormitories for visitors and short term mission teams. The temple is on the second floor with a capacity for five hundred or so. Ramps and washrooms for the handicapped have been incorporated in the construction.

May you all continue to experience the full blessing of God’s grace and love and if for some reason we are not able to communicate before Jesus returns then, we will see you in heaven.
Sincerely in Christ,
Tom, Elizabeth and Cheryl Leigh Allan.
