Upsate from the Mackeys


Dear Family & Friends,

With the new year we have decided to have a new name for our newsletters: "Mackey Moments" will bring you the latest of what God is doing in our lives throughout the next year.
The new year also brings with it many changes in our lives. As you all know we have been planing to leave for Brazil this January and we have had visa problems. We just received word that we are going to have to get some new documents and re-apply for our visas. The Brazilian government has made some changes in what they are looking for in a visa application. We are going to receive new documents from New Tribes leadership, and we've been told that even if all goes well with our re-application, we will still not be able to leave for at least 2-3 months.
With this in mind, we sense the Lords leading to serve at the New Tribes Missionary Training Center in Missouri until we obtain our visas. There are positions that we can assist in right now to still be a part of reaching people with the Gospel. Ginger may help in child care so that students can attend classes, and Christopher will help in the Tech Center, fabricating and building solar panel systems to send to missionaries on the field.

Thank you for all of your prayers and support through all of this. We could not do it without you. We are currently at 55% of the recommended support level. We are blessed by this percentage, and we would also love for it to grow!
In His Grip
