Matt was raised in Indonesia as part of a missionary family. After completing bachelors and masters degrees in theology and counselling, he attended law school and practiced law for 10 years as an associate and partner in an international law firm. He left the practice of law in 2006 to follow God’s call to ministry and served the next 8 years as Pastor of Worship and Missions at his local church.
In 2007 Matt experienced deep healing through the ministry of Ellel. He was appointed National Director of Ellel USA in 2014 and has served on the Executive Leadership of Ellel International since 2018. Matt loves to see people healed and functioning in their destiny. He has a special interest in God’s purposes for Israel and the Church, and the realisation of the “One New Man” described in Ephesians 2:15. He’s written a book on the subject entitled, “Healing the One New Man” and has led many groups on prayer tours to Israel.
Matt lives with his wife, Becky, of 36 years, and their dachshund, Max, in Plant City, Florida. They have two grown daughters.
