About Matt:
Matthew is 20 years old, and has always been passionate about living his life for Christ and showing love to all people (even, or especially, difficult-to-love teenagers!). He is currently a student at JBU studying outdoor recreational ministry and plans to work in ministry to Spanish-speaking communities at home or abroad.

That love for outdoor adventure and the Spanish language sent him to Costa Rica last year, where he spent 2 months interning at an outdoor camp for Costa Rican teenagers. You can read more about his journey here. Last year thanks to the love and support of family, friends, and strangers in God’s perfect timing, he was able to afford the high cost to go just in the nick of time!
 
About The Opportunity:

This year, the journey continues with this opportunity to travel to Quito, Ecuador as part of a mission trip/study abroad with JBU. Matthew will be trained to lead short-term mission trips, and he will work along with his classmates to put that training into action by completing multiple projects while he is there. He is clear that God is calling him to minister to the Spanish-speaking world, but it’s easy to fall into the trap of worrying about where the money will come from. You see, if he doesn’t have the money to go before he’s scheduled to leave, he won’t be able to go. We are incredibly proud of the man our brother is and aspires to be, and we wanted to help him however we could. Hence, the giveaway!

We are all trusting God to provide just like He did last year, and we are hoping you will feel a tug to be a part of this, however you can.
