Matt Morgan
Matthew had a powerful encounter with the Lord while driving one day in May 2021. This led Him on a path to follow Jesus Christ instead of heading in the wrong direction like Prov. 14:12. One day with prison ministry on his heart, George “Doc” Lyrene’s number was shared with him. George quickly introduced Matthew to the ministry and residents of SFV and he’s felt a pull from the Lord to be a part of this great ministry ever since! Matthew lives in Madison, Alabama with his wife Meghan and three kids: Jackson, Mackenzie, and Sophia. He has business degree from the University of Georgia and has worked in government contracting—logistics, HR and program management. Matthew is a member of Asbury Church, and his favorite bible verses are Deuteronomy 8:3 and Matthew 4:4.
