Tivaki Stone Chapel Project
One of Tivaki's future projects is to build a church on the upper mountain side of the property. The structure of the church will be built mainly out of stone harvested from the land, with only candle lights and no electricity. The vision for this church is to reflect the Coptic Heritage with all its simplicity and deep spirituality. Alongside the chapel, there will be an attached Coptic Museum housing Coptic Artifacts, telling our visitors about the long-standing Coptic History that speaks about the resilience and profound faith of the Coptic People throughout history. Afterall, the Coptic Church is a Church of Martyrs and Confessors that bore and still bears witness courageously to Our Lord Jesus Christ.
