Mathew is one of 7 children, born into a poor, rural family. Mathew was saved at 5, and by the time he was 7 he was preaching in public. He was so small he had to stand on a table so the congregation could see him. In 2007, God called him into the slums of Nairobi, some 250 miles from his home.

Pastor Mathew and his wife, Vane, work side by side to advance the Kingdom, taking ground back from the enemy.
