Sheona Mackie

Meet the ever elegant Sheona Mackie!  This lovely lady was born in Helensburgh, Scotland on June 29, 1966. Her father Joe was a plumber and her mum Margaret was a housewife. Friends from around the globe refer to her by the sweet nickname of 'Shoggy' which her beloved dad gave her. Growing up Sheona and her younger siblings, Hazel and Stuart were taken to the United Reform Church by their mum.  The family moved to England when Shoggy was just three years old and she was first christened at the age of six.  At the age of 17 Sheona became a Christian and was baptized. " The day of my baptism, a prophet gave me a word of knowledge. God had chosen for me a husband and that I would be travelling to the ends of the earth."  After high school Sheona studied at the Bromley College of Technology and received her diplomas in French, Spanish and Italian from the Royal Society of Arts in London.  In 1988 Sheona was engaged to a man that she felt strongly attached to. She discovered that he was unfaithful and so she opted to travel to New Zealand and Australia in 1989. While in New Zealand Shoggy attended a church service and received another word of knowledge. Sheona would marry a man in Mexico! She had time to process her feelings and agree with God. It was a heart wrenching decision to 'wait for the husband' that God had promised. Shoggy remembers "I cried for weeks". When she returned to England she obediently broke off her engagement and trusted God ever more completely.

 "1990 was a year of great change for me. I was offered three separate opportunities. 1) The United Nations in Rome extended an administrative position.  2) The Director General of 'Coates Lorilleux' offered me a position as his personal bilingual secretary. 3) My pastor in England suggested a missionary job in Mexico working as an aide to Pastor John Evans and his wife Flor in Guadalajara.  Boldly and full of faith, at the age of 24 Sheona relocated to Guadalajara to work with Pastor Evans at El Camino Comunidad Christiana.  "Living in Mexico I wore several hats over the next 5 years. I worked as a nanny for the pastor's kids, I sang in the choir and I taught English."

At a spiritual retreat in 1992 while in Chapala, Shoggy met her future husband Carlos Marquez.  In 1994 Carlos graduated as an Architect and immediately proposed that Sheona become 'his girl and his wife'!   She accepted his proposal and in 1996 they got married. Their first child Anna was born in 1997 and her son Samuel was born in 2000. Altogether Sheona taught English for 27 years and for 13 of those years she also sold insurance. Her life scripture " I will go before you and will level the mountains' I will break down gates of bronze an cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name." Isaiah 45:2-3  In addition to selling insurance, after some dramatic positive changes in her health, Sheona recently began to distribute nutritional products on a part-time basis. "The VIVRI products have completely changed the health of my son and myself."  It is with great pleasure that I introduce this wonderful woman! If you ever get the chance to meet her, ask Miss Shoggy about how God answered her prayers for a stranger in the hospital. Sheona continues to pray for God's best for the woman that He brought back from the brink of death. All glory to God as He continues to work miracles today! I have been blessed in

countless ways for having Shoggy as a dear sister in Christ since a Wellspring conference in 2016. She lives and breathes these words " And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge ---that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Jesus Christ throughout all generations, for ever and ever! AMEN." Ephesians 3:17-20.  For more info about the VIVRI products contact Sheona on her cell 331-281-6643 via SMS messages or on WhatsApp. Sheona will gladly meet with you at Lakeside.
