Rev. Matthew H. Johns intimately knows the dangers lurking and preying upon America’s youth. Raised in a single family household due to divorce, Matthew fell into drugs and alcohol at an early age. Matthew attended church regularly as an adolescent and even went through confirmation at age 13 in the Methodist church, but never understood what it meant to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ until late in his twenties. After accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord, Matthew met his lovely wife Ashley in a singles Sunday school class and has now been married for over 4 years. They are expecting their first child in March of 2011. In recent years Matthew has responded to the call of ministry and received two seminary degrees. Matthew received his first degree, B.A. of Religion, from Luther Rice Seminary and his second degree, M.A. in Evangelism and Church Planting, from Liberty University. Matthew is a living testimony of God’s amazing grace as he has overcame a dysfunctional family life, suicidal depression, drug and alcohol addiction, pornography addiction, and fear of failure all by the Love of Jesus. As a North American Missionary, it is the passion of Matthew’s heart, in accordance with God’s will, to bring hope, acceptance, and understanding to the youth and families of his community and the world.
