Matthew grew up near Chicago and studied Computer Science at Kansas State University. He came into college with an intellectual belief in who God and Jesus were but had no idea that faith could be more than just going to church on a Sunday morning. The Lord placed older students around Matthew in the residence halls at K-State who shared their lives and the gospel. Matthew began to follow Christ his freshman year and lived the rest of his time at K-State, seeking to know God more deeply and see the people around him impacted by the power of the gospel. After a summer project in South Africa, Matthew is excited to be rejoining the team in South Africa to see how God will raise up university students who would be faithful to his mission.
