Matt Henry grew up somewhere else and now he is here, settling into Yooper life with his beautiful dog, Oliver.
Matt (along with our FOCUS missionary Kamaron) has spent the last few months roughing it in an old hunting cabin. Thankfully, and by the Grace of God, he has finally moved into his new home! Congratulations on your new home-ownership, Matt!
“My journey to becoming a missionary, like many people, is all over the place. I have had plenty of uncertainties in my life whether that be my major, which I changed twice as an undergrad, or what I want to do with my life. I got a Bacherlor's in English, then a Master's in Theology. I lived with missionaries for a few years and with monks for a few weeks. One thing that is certain in my life is God's call to serve students on campus. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to hear more about how exactly I heard God's call to mission."
Our not-so-serious Q&A with FOCUS Mish, Matt Henry:
Q: What three things would your ideal weekend include?
A:My ideal weekend would be a relaxing time with friends with maybe a campfire, perhaps a nice meal, and maybe disney world.
Q: Assuming all of your human needs are taken care of, what unessential item(s) would you want with you on a deserted island?
A: On a deserted island, I would want to bring all of my books.
Q: If you could be any animal for a week, which would you choose?
A: If i could be an animal for a week I would be the great white whale, Moby Dick himself.
Q:What is something you do to feel better on a bad day?
A: I like to sit outside alone on a bad day.
Q:What is the most uninteresting true thing you could tell someone about yourself?
A: I was born with two ears, one on the right, the other on the left.
Q:Favorite food/dessert a family member makes:
A: My family makes a nice thanksgiving feast every year.
Q: What would be the first thing you'd do if you won the lottery?
A: I would invest all of my money into high dividend yielding stocks.
Some know, some don’t know - our FOCUS Missionaries are tasked with raising their own salary. They actively fundraise and build a network of prayerful support for their missions.
“When I answered the call to join FOCUS, I made the decision to rely on the spiritual and financial support of mission partners to help me through this mission. I've been blessed with the most amazing people who have journeyed with me as I serve on campus. If you are interested in partnering with me, please let me know of the best way to reach you and I will schedule an appointment. I'd be honored to share this mission with you.”
Please pray for Matt as he enters this new stage of life as a homeowner, and continues his valiant mission to reach the college students here at MTU!
You’re doing great work, Matt! Thank you for sharing your time, talent, and treasure with us!
