Matt's Meditations



Dear Friends,

As some of you may know, I have been invited to serve as a missionary with Global Ministries Teams and an armor bearer to Director Irvin Rutherford. GMT (Global Ministry Teams) is the same organization that I went to SE Asia with the first time.

That trip has always left a desire for me to go back to SE Asia; however, I knew it had to be according to God’s timing. Earlier this year, God told me that He intended for me to go overseas, and I would know when and where very soon. The only people I shared this with were close family and friends. About 3 months after learning of God’s calling for my life, Pastor Irvin Rutherford had asked my father if I would be willing to serve as a Missionary Armor Bearer – with no knowledge of what God had revealed to me earlier in the year. After praying about it, and learning what it meant to be an Armor Bearer biblically, I told Pastor Irvin that I was willing, able, and in full belief that serving as a Missionary and Armor Bearer in Malaysia is what God has intended for me to do.

I plan on being able to depart for Asia in the middle of May. I will be gone for four years, and will be working under Pastor Irvin Rutherford and other leaders in GMT. I will also be going to GMT’s school GET (Global Evangelism Training), for missions training. I truly do believe this is the calling that God has for my life, and this is my first step in that direction; however, I’m going to need support financially and spiritually in order to complete my journey.

My Challenge and Your Part

I need to raise at least $1,700 plus an additional $300 a month for each year while I’m overseas. The $300 a month will go towards the student loans that I have accumulated while I was attending school here in the U.S., and the $1,700 will go towards traveling and living expenses while I am in SE Asia. It is also necessary that I raise additional $5000.00 cash before I leave in May for airfare and setting up a place to live in SE Asia. I am also asking that you pray about your part in helping me to do what I believe God has placed on my heart.

I do believe that my missionary calling is God’s will for me. Irvin and I would greatly appreciate any one time offering towards the initial $5000.00 and/or any monthly pledge towards the $2000.00 I will need each month.

For any monthly or one time donations, just click on the PayPal button to make a donation, and you don't have to have a PayPal account. Also we will be sending a tax deduction reciept.

During the time I’m away, I will be updating my blog with stuff that God has been showing me, and also other things that God puts on my heart.

Thank you and God Bless,
Matt Lee
