Matt found www.prophecy.org ministry on the Internet; and lived at Ray Aguilera's house for about 5 months, when I lived there. He was coming off a mission trip and didn't have a way back to Michigan. The Lord told me to give Matt my jeep, because I was going into the streets for a year. This was1997. Matt moved, and we lost touch for 10 years. I discovered through Matt's brother, that he was in St. Louis Mo; and affiliated with Larry Rice's homeless ministry. We met at New Life and had lunch together. This was before I moved to St. Louis. Matthew was a confirmation for my Mission to St. Louis Mo.

After I moved and was in my apartment, I called Matt and told him where I lived. I didn't know where Matt lived; because I wasn't familiar with the city. Matt said we were neighbors; and had the same apartment manager.

Jump to June 2009, after leaving Chicago. Matthew found me on face book. Matt was working at the Christian radio station in New Bloomfield for New Life Evangelistic Ministry; and was only a short drive from Jeff City Mo, where I was staying with my brother, before heading to CA. This was our third meeting; and THAT was no coincidence!!

My brother/Chaplain in the truck driver's ministry, made a friend/Daniel Jones/truck driver; who writes and sings Christian music. Daniel asked me if I knew Larry Rice, because he wanted to get his music on Larry's Christian station. I told him I didn't know Larry personally; but I did know the guy that works at the radio station and plays the music. Matthew came with us to the Truck stop; and he heard Daniel play his music in the chapel. The next day, Matthew played Daniel's music-CD on the radio station. This all occurred within a few days. That whole event was coordinated by the Lord. PRAISE JESUS!!
