History:

David and Lindsey met at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters where they worked together on summer staff. They later got married.

David is from around the Sanford, NC area and has grown up in the church where his dad is a pastor and his mom is a teacher at a Christian school. They also lived in Spain for 3 years while David's parents were missionaries. David originally came to Snowbird with his church as a camper, then worked on staff and later came on to work as a full time staff member.

Lindsey grew up around the Murphy/Andrews area and started to work at Snowbird during the summer of 2004. She grew up and was highly involved in her church youth group and other activities. She felt a calling for missions since she was a young girl and has been praying for God's guidance since. After marrying David, she started working at Andrews elementary school with the Exceptional Children's program and served there until June, 2008 when she and David left for Mexico.

Since the MacInneses have returned from Mexico they have moved to Asheville, NC.  Lindsey has started working in a children's home in a cottage for girls and it is a huge ministry field.  She works with girls ages 12-17.  David is looking for a job in Asheville in their new community.

Strategy:

Growing up Lindsey had an aunt who ran an orpahange in Campeche, Mexico. Her name is Louise Edwards. She and her husband Noel started the orphanage as independent missionaries. Ever since Lindsey was in high school she visited the orphanage at least once a year. In 2007, David went with Lindsey to the orphanage for the first time. Since then they have been praying for God's direction in going down there to work. A couple years ago, Noel Edwards passed away and Louise has been running things with a few ladies down there to help out. Louise has been praying for someone to come and help out full time. She has been having various health problems and could always use the extra help. Acoording to the Spirit's leading David and Lindsey took advantage of this opportunity.

While they were in Mexico they were in charge of a hall of four boys ranging from 6-9 years old. While thoase boys were at school David worked outside on construction with some older boys and Lindsey helped with household chores.

Prayer Requests:

• Please pray for us that we will learn the language quickly and be able to disciple the kids at the orphanage.
• Our main desire is to see these children grow in their maturity and walk with the Lord and that the lost ones will come to have a real relationship with Christ.
• Please pray that we will stay healthy.

Support:

The MacInneses have all the financial support they need. Thank you for support.
