You may remember me telling you about my friend Matt. Several months ago he joined the Global Family Rescue Rwanda Mission only to have his plans dashed by the Rwandan Government. (Evidently the Rwandan Government wanted to control the flow of funds into the country which put the kabash on a number of efforts by non-profits to provide relief.) The full story is available on the Global Family Rescue website which is presently under construction.
Matt got right back on his feet and volunteered for a mission to Haiti instead. He's headed there this week on a mission trip.
It's the first time he's ever done something like this. He stopped by last night to pick-up some old soccer balls my kids no longer use. Matt is going to give them to kids in Haiti.
Despite being a little nervous (he has a young family and his wife is pregnant with their third) he is stoked about his trip. He's really stepping out of his comfort zone to do something bold for the Kingdom. Matt has been on this incredible journey the last year or so in which he's really pursued his relationship with God.
I am really proud of him and I admit I am really jealous. I wish I could go with him. He's a inspiration to me and a dear friend.
The trip will undoubtedly have a big impact on him.
Please keep Matt and his family in your prayers while he's working to show the world the love of Jesus.
Will keep praying, let us know if he sends any updates on Haiti.
