“There were days I thought about how to end my alcoholic step dad’s life,” said Matt Blount. “He had physically beat me and one time even ripped my hair out.
“When I look back now I can see where God had plans for my life, even though I did not know it at the time. When I had a child of my own I started to seek God because somehow I knew I was not going to be able to be a dad without the Lord.”
Slowly God revealed to Matthew how He would use the abuse and suffering of Matt’s youth to serve kids. And last year God released him from the walls of self-protection he had built around himself and freed him to serve the needs of 150 children in Uganda through a ministry that operates a school and orphanage. There’s more to the story. Be sure to come this Thursday to meet Matt if you don’t already know him.
“I hope my story will inspire you to see God’s work in your life,” said Matthew, “particularly in the area where you may have believed that He was far from you.”
