Matt was raised in a Christian home but did not put his faith in Jesus until his last year of high school. While attending Charleston Southern University, he grew to understand what it really meant to live for Christ through the ministry of Campus Outreach. Through the discipleship of staff members in CO, he developed a vision for seeing all nations come to hear and respond to the gospel. He has served with the Campus Outreach team in Christchurch, New Zealand since 2023, and seeks to continue sharing the love of Christ and discipling students at the University of Canterbury.
