Iain and Liz McKenzie now of Inverness are fundraising for their Honduras mission

If you've been around a while, you might remember us, the McKenzie family - we moved to Inverness in 1991? Well we are making plans to go on a real life-time adventure to Honduras in Central America. We are going on 12th July 2004 initially for 5 years. (Iain & Liz were with us here from the very early days at City Temple in the 70's and throughout the years we were without a building. Iain used to do sound for us, and set up the original system in the King's Hall. He was also the gofer during the construction phase. Together they used to run a house group and they regularly offered accommodation to people in the church who were just starting out. - Colin )

The purpose of our move to Honduras is to develop two projects. Firstly to set up an orphanage and secondly to set up a house where children from extremely rural areas can live while they get access to schools they would otherwise be unable to get to. Initially we will work for a group called The Cornerstone Foundation who has built a charitable hospital in Honduras which is run by volunteer medics mostly from America. We will also be attending language school and of course will be immersed in the culture from day one. If you would like to find out more about this you can look up their web site at; www.mckenziesinhonduras.co.uk

We require to raise around £1,500 per month to live in Honduras as a family and a further £500 a month during the first year to pay for language school. We have already seen God moving and experienced the generosity of many people and we have already reached 75% of the target.
