The Building Program:
Foundations of Faith - Faces of Promise

Zuni Christian Reformed Mission is engaged in an exciting faith-building venture. After many years of planning and preparation, the mission embarked on a landmark capital project to completely reconfigure and reconstruct the buildings that house the Zuni Christian Reformed Church and Zuni Christian Mission School.

The capital campaign, initiated in the summer of 2009, generated ample funds to start Phase I construction in the fall of 2010. And so we have begun. God’s provision has been evident every step of the way. We give thanks to God.

Construction Highlights

School Ground Breaking - May 2010

Temporary relocation of portable classrooms - July 2010

Demolition & site preparation - December 2010

FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH speaks to us of the throng of witnesses who have channeled grace to the people of Zuni in past years and the testimony of the Zuni people who have believed the Gospel.

FACES OF PROMISE points ahead to a great company of children and adults who will, through the continuing presence of the Lord in this ministry, respond to Grace-filled Truth.

Like all the ministries of Zuni Christian Reformed Mission, the building program is God’s work entrusted to His people. Many have prayed; many have given counsel and encouragement; many have given generously of their financial resources. We welcome your continued support. These are exciting times!

There are three ways you can participate:

· Prayer. From the very inception of the rebuilding idea, we have marveled at God’s provision of resources—people, funding and materials. God has honored the prayers of his faithful people. We invite you to be among those who pray.

· Financial contribution. This is the first major capital campaign that the Zuni Christian Reformed Mission has undertaken. Previous building projects were done when the mission was under the auspices of Christian Reformed Home Mission. A $9.7M capital campaign is a huge undertaking. We do not doubt the generosity of God through his people. We invite you to be among those who give.

· Volunteer labor. Our facility includes buildings for school, church and community activities. Since home ownership on the reservation is not an option for non-Zuni staff and rental housing is limited, the campus also includes residences for staff. The School and the Ministry Center construction will be done by Murphy Builders, a contractor from Gallup, NM. We plan to use volunteers for the construction of staff residences and the parsonage. We invite those who have building expertise to be among those who volunteer to build the residences.

For further information, see Special Giving Opportunities for the Building Program.

As we rebuild the campus, we pray that the buildings will be a visible reminder to the Zuni people that they are God’s dearly loved people and that they will be drawn by God’s Spirit inside the buildings where Grace-filled Truth is proclaimed and lived.
