Now Pray for Matt's Family

Matt's family can use your prayers. Matt never woke up from the accident or surgery. His family and friends surrounded him as they were told that he had no brain activity. This strong Christian man who many looked up to is with His Savior and Lord but his family are grieving. Those of you who read the Today's Pentecostal Evangel or have Ken's books know of Matt's graphic design work and know the great loss in this area, those of you who are friends will grieve the loss of a great friend.

When my Daddy died Matt took time to send me this email:

I wasn't able to get to the viewing to see you, but wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you. Losing a father is tough, no matter his age. While you can find comfort in his release from the pain of this life, the thought of a daughter without a father is hard. I lost my dad a couple of months after I turned 30...I remember the first time it really hit me. I didn't have a dad anymore. I wasn't sure how to function without him. But I also remember how kind God was to comfort me and fill my mind with memories and thoughts of him. Be sure that He will do the same for you...probably already has. I came to realize that dad will always be just that...no matter where he is. And that means I will always be his son as you will always be a cherished daughter. Its been over 18 years now and I still find great joy in that. I trust you will do the same.
All my best,
Matt


I will now take the time to pass this on to his four daughters.
