Iain and Liz are from Inverness, in the Highlands of Scotland. They became the Host Family for Cornerstone Foundation in July 2004 where they helped coordinate the visits of individual volunteers and short-term mission teams to the hospital by looking after the needs of visitors and their accommodations. They also have been key personnel in materials and supply purchasing for the hospital.

      Their calling: “We believe we have been called to Honduras to develop two projects: a foster home and a house for children from extreme rural areas that will enable them to access education. Working with Cornerstone as host family has provided us with the opportunity to learn Spanish and an understanding of the local culture; and to make important contacts in Honduras as we waited for the Lord to show u the next stage of His plans.”

      From its inception, Cornerstone Foundation / APAH had anticipated and planned for work in children’s care — the McKenzies had a corresponding vision. In 2006 they began to further develop these projects together, with a plan for the McKenzies to direct the work. Iain, Liz and Samuel moved to live in Balfate in July 2006 as they prepared to start the projects and fulfill the vision they received from the Lord. Construction began in October 2006 and it is anticipated that they will move into the new Cornerstone children’s center in September 2007. In the meantime, as they wait for the new center to be completed, they have started receiving children into the house they are currently renting.

      They have two sons: Samuel (12/01/97), who is with them in Honduras. Their older son, Simon, lives in Scotland along with his wife (Jackie) and children (Katelyn and Dylan).
