God led him to Paul's words in Acts 20:24 where he said, "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." God used these words to call him into lifelong ministry and service to the gospel. Bro. Matt was ordained to the gospel ministry at Central Baptist Chruch in Decatur, Alabama in 1999. Matt graduated from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in December 2003 with a Master of Divinity in Expository Preaching. Bro.
