Where We serve

We have the joy of serving the students and community at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, IA. As married missionaries and as a family, we get to bring the Gospel to students from a unique perspective and hope to help young people believe in Good, Holy, Catholic marriage, and build up Christian leaders for the future of the Church.

We absolutely love the opportunity to know these students, to grow in authentic friendship with them, to model a Christ-centered Marriage and Family Life, and to invite them to grow in their faith alongside us!

Mr. and Mrs. Macsay

Our Story

We were both deeply impacted by FOCUS missionaries while we were in college. We were asked the question “if God is real, what would that mean for my life,” invited by them to make Jesus the center of our life. This deeper “yes” to pursue Truth changed both of our lives forever. In giving everything to our Lord, we found joy and peace like never before. We discovered that in sharing our Faith with the hurting world around us, we became more fully alive. And there is nothing like getting a front-row seat to seeing the good and beautiful work Jesus is doing in other people’s lives!

We have responded to a real call from the Lord to “make disciples of all nations” (Matt 28:18-20) in a world that needs Truth. Truth is a person, and His name is Jesus Christ. We have placed our family in a way of life where we can bring Truth into the lives of those around us. Our mission; to live radically the reality that God is Real in the presence of others, and to invite them into this reality.

Your Impact

We. Need. You.

We cannot – actually, cannot – do what we do without you. In fact, anything Good comes at a cost; anything Good requires work and effort alongside the Lord’s Grace.

When we answered the call to join FOCUS as full-time missionaries, we made the decision to rely on you – the spiritual and financial support of true partners to give us the freedom to be fully available for this mission. We’ve been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with us as we serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with us, please reach us by email at [email protected] and we will schedule an appointment with you.

We’d be honored to share in this mission with you.
