Matt and Nora share a burden and a passion for discipling and mentoring young people in Guatemala. They are the Ministry Leaders of “Hope in the Highest,” a residential program that supports adults who have aged out of children’s homes. Modeling a family-style approach, they strengthen relationships by teaching Gospel-centered life skills, equip Believers to mature in their faith through discipleship and Bible study, and provide financial and job coaching with Biblical principles. Matt also serves young adults from a remote village through Marie Ministries, a ministry providing young adults scholarships to finish high school and attend college or trade school, learn some English and foster a growing relationship with Jesus through discipleship. Nora pours herself into homeschooling their three children and cultivating a home where guests are embraced like family. Together, Matt and Nora foster a welcoming community for young people, expats and growing families through personal connection and offering a seat at their table.
Married in September 2016, Nora and Matt began serving in Guatemala together in January 2017. They call Guatemala home but have roots in South Carolina, Georgia, and Michigan. They have three kids, Rosita (9), Eva (8), and Elias (5). Nora and Matt began the journey to adopt children in 2021 in response to a strong felt calling and their experiences as trauma-informed caregivers. Today they serve as adoption and foster care advocates and support to couples and families interested in adoption. Their ministry of coming alongside others in love demonstrates the power of God’s transforming presence among us.
“God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them.” Hebrews 6:10
