Matthew is from Charleston, South Carolina, and graduated from Clemson University in 2022. He came to know the Lord his sophomore year of high school through some mentors who were a part of Campus Outreach in college. This was his first exposure to the ministry, and in seeing their faith desired to be a part of it at Clemson as well. At Clemson, he had the opportunity to serve the Lord through Campus Outreach and other ministries. During this time, Matthew fell in love with the idea of serving the nations and sharing the Gospel with people from other cultures. He is very excited to be serving for two years in Lima, Peru.
