Finance : Most of the financial needs are contributed by the church members. Donation was also collected worldwide, but the input received from this was not very significant. Visitors from time to time, donated considerable amount of money to the Temple authority, which is worthy of appreciation. However, there is no compulsory collections/entry fee/charge to the visitors.

Progress : Nearly half of the construction work is being completed and work is still in progress. In spite of this, the Temple has become one of the major tourist attraction/destination in the state of Mizoram. Foreigners and even the local people often visited the place and the Temple site is worth to pay a visit. The place is so quite, calm and peaceful. It is surrounded by evergreen forest and is considered as one of the most beautiful building/church in the whole region.
