Macko sees the purpose of A Hunt Above being more than just about experiencing the outdoors--he sees it as a ministry. Part of the organization's mission statement is "To promote the Biblical truth that God is the Creator and Savior of all the world; to bring an awareness of our personal accountability to God."


Man, that's an awesome mission statement. It's a great thing you are doing for these children. People like you are what it's all about.
God bless.

Thanks for all that you do. I know Addison's father, Randy, well. I saw either this article or another one just like a while back. I saw Randy after reading the first article and asked him about the hunt. The biggest smile came across his face when I asked about it. The hunt meant a lot to those two. Thanks again.

If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

Thanks All

Here's something my mom sent me after reading the article...

One hundred years from now,
it will not matter what kind of car I drove,
what kind of house I lived in,
how much was in my bank account,
nor what my clothes looked like.

But the world may be a little better place
because I was important in the life of a child.

Love you,
Mom
