ALON CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Professional Businesses

As an important part of our testimony and witness to the Tzaneen location, a business park was established in 2000. Consisting of an accounting, auditing and business consulting firm, a law office, an architectural draughting business, a medical practice (incorporating an AIDS/HIV clinic and laboratory and diabetes treatment centre) and more recently a lunch time restaurant and delicatessen with an adjacent art gallery and design studio. Four additional offices within the office park are let to external tenants.

Over the years qualified people in many different professions have joined the work and have taken up responsibility in these diverse businesses. Most of these who are now enjoying a successful business environment came to the work in severe debt or financial difficulty but we have seen God's faithfulness to undo and redeem what was often a seemingly impossible situation. We live completely debt-free and all properties, vehicles and other assets are completely paid off fulfilling the scripture which urges us to "owe no man any thing, except the love of God".

God’s creativity has been revealed in the beauty of the offices, which also provides a gateway for the gospel to be shared with many clients from all walks of life. A living testimony of life in the Lord goes out from the premises in Tzaneen as the businesses often pray and fellowship together whenever possible.

6. Artisan Coffee

Situated amongst the lush sub-tropical hills of Hansfontein, with air crsip and soil rich, where altitude watches over the town of Tzaneen and gives birth to trees harnessing the true meaning of coffee and capturing the essence of taste. We, as an estate, are continually pressing forward to perfect the husbandry of growing, the timing of harvesting, the science of processing and the art of roasting.

For us to strive to attain excellence in every stage of this challenge is simply a pleasure.
