In 2002, he formed a dynamic gospel group Nu Restoration. The group of 15 people are young people who don't proclaim to have it together but are striving to reach that point of realness that few groups achieve. They aspire to reach the nations with the ministry God birthed in their leader, Terrence Mackey. Terrence's overall goal is to bridge the gap between the young and the old for a better generation; with the help of God.

Since the group has been together, they have had the opportunity to share the stage with John P. Kee, Fred Hammond, Smokie Norful, Yolanda Adams, Kirk Franklin and many other gospel greats.
