Ellel Ministries was established in the USA in 2005 on 140 acres of land in Lithia, Florida.
In 2018, we began the process of seeking approval to build. Our master plan was approved by the Hillsborough county zoning department in 2021, and our site plan for Phase 1 was approved in August 2024.
Our first building phase includes three proposed buildings:
We anticipate that all three buildings of Phase 1 can be completed for $4.5 million. All three buildings are desperately needed to continue the work, but the first building of Phase 1 (the ministry and administration building) can be completed for as little as $1.5 million (this includes costs of site development). The accommodation building, which would provide space for at least 20 overnight guests and team, can be completed for just $2.5 million.
Completing Phase 1 of our building plan will allow us to provide the hospitality and ministry space currently needed to fulfill our mandate to welcome, teach, and heal.
