About Matthew Karchner

Since the Lord delivered Matt from a gay lifestyle and false identity in 2010, he faced contempt from some believers. When his corporate career required support for the LGBTQ+ agenda, Matt chose to resign, stating, 'I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back.' He now pastors a church in Cambodia, sharing the gospel with the LGBTQ+ community. Praise the Lord!"
