THE SHEKINAH EMBASSY PROJECT!

In the spirit of faith and unity, Shekinah Network International welcomes you to embark on an extraordinary journey with us. A journey that not only transforms the physical landscape of Lafia but also embodies our unwavering commitment to our divine mission. We stand on the brink of a momentous chapter in our church's history, and we invite you to be part of this historic occasion as we announce our monumental building project.

Nehemiah 2:20:
Scripture reminds us, "Our God will fight for us!" Just as Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem, we find inspiration to pursue our vision with unwavering faith in God's providence.

The Vision:

Envision a sanctuary reaching towards the heavens, a place where hearts soar in worship, and souls are nourished by the word of God. Imagine a sprawling campus teeming with life, where fellowship thrives, and our sense of community strengthens. Picture an architectural marvel that not only stands as a testament to our faith but also radiates hope to all who pass by.

The Mission:

Our mission is anchored in the teachings of Jesus Christ. We aspire to create a sacred space where love, compassion, and faith flourish, where the broken find healing, and the lost find their way. Our new building will be more than bricks and mortar; it will be a sanctuary where lives are transformed.

The Design:

Our vision takes form through the exceptional architectural design by [Light and Menorah Architect]. This design embodies our core values of openness, inclusivity, and reverence. With its soaring spires, welcoming entrances, and sustainable features, our new building will be an architectural masterpiece that harmonizes with the natural beauty of Lafia.

The Impact:

This project is about more than constructing a building; it's about building lives, building a stronger community, and building a brighter future. Our expanded facilities will empower us to extend our reach, offering more programs, support, and services to those in need.

Our Commitment:

We recognize the enormity of this endeavor, both in terms of resources and effort. Nevertheless, we are fueled by our unshakeable faith in God's divine plan. We pledge to be faithful stewards of the resources entrusted to us and to work tirelessly to see this vision come to fruition.

Join Us on this Journey:

As we embark on this path, we invite you, our cherished congregation and community, to stand with us. Your prayers, support, and active participation will be invaluable as we progress. Together, we can bring this vision to life, and together, we can forge a better future for all.

Conclusion:

In the spirit of Nehemiah, who rebuilt Jerusalem's walls through faith and determination, we too shall rise to the occasion. Our new building will not just be a structure; it will be a testament to our faith, a place where the Shekinah glory shines brightly. As we take this leap of faith, we trust in Nehemiah 2:20: "Our God will fight for us!" Together, let's build the Shekinah Network International and watch as God works miracles through us.

Stay tuned for updates, milestones, and opportunities to get involved on our social media pages. Thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we can turn this vision into a glorious reality.

Harry Shurek

Harry Shurek

In 2009 I started my first public accounting firm, Shurek Accounting & Tax, operating out of my bonus room upstairs and meeting clients at their homes and local Starbucks. In 2012, after picking up my first 250 or so clients, I opened my first office, hired my first employee and began to grow my practice.

Through advertising, networking and referrals, I picked up an average of 100 clients per year, consisting of a good mixture of small-to-medium sized businesses as well as individual tax clients, and had accumulated around 800 clients by my eighth year. In 2015, I started doing work for clients in the cannabis industry in various states, and after accumulating a few clients, in 2016, I created my new company, MCA Accounting Solutions/ MyCannabisAccountant.com.

After working in the cannabis space for a few years and learning of the true need of good accountants to help businesses stay in compliance, In January of 2018, I sold over 600 of my initial clients to another local accountant and shifted most of my main practice focus to cannabis accounting.

For almost the last decade, we have helped clients that own dispensaries, cultivations, processing facilities and ancillary service providers in almost every state that there is a legal cannabis program – working with over 100 licensees in most legal states.

In 2017, I was introduced to the crypto world by several clients that were involved in different aspects and activities. Since then, I have been heavily involved in mining, trading, Defi, NFTs and we have been doing accounting and taxes for clients in the space for the past several years. Seeing another niche market with a significant need, I officially formed The Crypto Accountant in 2021 to help the crypto community not only to be able to accurately represent their crypto gains and losses for tax return purposes, but also to allow for proactive and strategic tax planning based around their crypto portfolios and activities.

After working with over 1,000+ companies and individuals spanning just about every industry there is, I have developed a true understanding of not only the cannabis and cryptocurrency industries, but also the struggles and challenges it takes for businesses to survive and compete in the dynamic business environments of today. As a fellow entrepreneur, I also understand the hustle and dedication it takes to run a business, and the extra efforts it takes to do so successfully.
