So where do I start...the journey has been a long one...I was born and raised in California and married at age 20. My life was full of questions even as a small child...My father is a blond haired, blue eyed, red bearded Scotsman and mother is of Latin/Spanish orgin with royal family roots tracings to the inquisitions in spain in the 1600's...I never met my grandfather however he was a McKenzie never the less...My inheritance was never spoken about earthly or eternally as my father and mother both were not aware of our orgin or Jesus as Lord....They were set out to make a life for themselves as they were married very young...Their marriage lasted only 12 years. I Soon started to do all I could to live life to the fullest in the world through alcohol & drugs etc....After 13 years of marriage, I realized that nothing could fill this void deep within my heart...nothing...not the three houses I owned by the time I was age 30, not the new cars...nothing!....On the brink of divorce, I met an old friend I used to do drugs with...he had changed and displayed loads of peace and I wanted it since I had none...He invited me to his Church and that following Sunday I gave my heart to Jesus Christ!...I started to commune with the Lord and started to hear from His Heart for me through His written word. The Father began to heal my broken heart from times past and filled me up with a love for myself through the spirit of adoption...a knowing His love and acceptance for me and other's...A few years and lots of restoration later, my wife and I grew closer than ever before. We both were called into His ministry onto His poor, orphaned, brokenhearted and widowed in Africa and now Israel....Our first trip to Scotland, I felt such an excitement not knowing my family history all that well...once I arrived, the Lord awakened me to my rich roots from where my ancestors came...I have now just begun to piece together our roots...I visited our family MacKenzie Highlands and began to become aquinted with the Highland way and my rich inheritance. I felt right at home in the Highlands in a way I had never felt before anywhere else...This has been an incredible journey of the heart. Scotland is God's garden and my wife and I are now privilaged to visit as much as God allows to encourage my kinsmen and youth to believe for something more...Lands, titles and postions are nice however it will never truly fill the void that is in every one's heart....No one can ever take away the inheritance Father God gives you through His Son, Jesus the Christ. God put that void in your heart to seek him out and to have a relationship with him & life abundant...Put your trust in God! Valor, honor, loyalty and integrity are all characterists of God when He is allowed to live inside your heart. It is the very thing that transforms ordinary men into Kings and warriors! My fellow kinsmen, you are valued and loved by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, JESUS the CHRIST!.............Our Battle Cry..."Tula chard" To the High Hill!_______________________________________________________
____About Clan MacKenzie: Clan MacKenzie is of Celtic stock and was not among the clans that originated from Norman ancestors. They are descendants from the 12th century Celtic dynasty of Gilleoin of the Aird, from whom can also be traced the once powerful Earls of Ross, and was a descendant of the ancient royal House of Lorn.This very ancient family also descended from a member of the House of Geraldine in Ireland, from which sprang the noble families of Leinster and Desmond, who, with a considerable number of his followers, is stated to have settled in Scotland about the year 1261.He was rewarded by a grant the lands of Kintail, in the County of Ross, dated 9th January 1266. Colin Fitzgerald was the first feudal Baron of Kintail. By 1267 the family had settled at Eilean Donan, the great MacKenzie stronghold at the mouth of Loch Duich. The surname MacKenzie is of Scottish origin, being rendered in Gaelic as "MacCoinneach."
