My Name is Matthew Dykstra Born June 19, 1979 and I am currently in my 30s and loving life.
I currently am living trying to live out my life according to what the Bible teaches us and listing to the will of the Lord for my life and moving in each step of the way.
I currently volunteer at my church The Embassy of The Kingdom of God (AKA The Embassy Church) along side my good friend and mentor Pastor Matt Robinson. I volunteer mostly with the Young Adults department called embassy | this generation and do any and everything that Pastor Matt would have me do.
I mostly assist in things of a Creative Arts nature meaning all things related to sound, computers, sermon editing, stage setup, cd duplication etc etc etc… and I LOVE IT. I also volunteer with Durham House of Prayer doing sound, projection, web design and recordings. Recently (Nov 2010) I felt that the Lord was putting me through a transition and I made the switch to Embassy Student Ministries (Gr 9-12)
I have a wonderful family life.. I grew up in a Christian Home with 1 sister has two wonderful kids of her own (The Kids in the Photo Above). I could be not happier for her. My mother and father have been together over 30+ years and I have never seen a better example of a strong marriage. I Myself am currently dating the most wonderful women in the world. We have know each other since we were 10 years old and have as no Dec 2010 been dating over 6 months.
There is not much more I can say about things then that.. I will leave you with some interesting things about me
Things I Like To Do::
- Work in the ministry, setting up new ways of using technology for Christ.
- Hang with friends
- Design websites
- Write
- Learn, I actually loved going to school
