Mackintyre's Church
I think it was September or October of last year that I first heard about Mackintyre's dream of building a church. The first article I read was published shortly after he passed away. An April 11, 2009 Kansas City Star article By LAURA BAUER tells that Mackintyre's dream of building a church will soon become a reality. "As Stacey Garton held her son that September morning in Liberty Hospital, unable to let his body go, she told her husband, through tears, what was already in his heart.“You know we have to build that church.” (Continue Reading).
I'm sure that others besides Stacey wonder why building a church was so important to young Mackintyre. “I ask God every day, ‘What am I supposed to do with a church?’” Stacey said. “It’s not like it’s a pony farm. I would know what to do with 100 ponies.”Yet Stacey believes there’s a reason her son was so adamant for so many years.“We may never know for who or why we’re building this, and it’s not important as long as the job is done.” I feel Mackintyre knew why the church was to be built and all of us will find out why, in God's time.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

What a beautiful and very sad story.
It will be VERY interesting to see what becomes of that church...I like to think very special things will happen there.
Few stories that long on others' sites interest me enough to keep reading, but this one did. THANK YOU, David. God bless you and Happy Easter to you and yours.

hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
Mackintyre died because of brain aneurysm. His wish is to built a church for their community. Imagine... an 8 years old supposed to be playing with their friends. But this kid thinks about religion.
