Read her testimony in her own words

My name is Judith Matty and I was born and raised in the UK.

I was born again in 1991 to a very mixed and diverse non-denominational Church. Given my introduction to God was as a Catholic and delighted to discover through my born again experience, a real God with an extraordinary love for me and mankind. Also, the knowledge of a great inheritance received through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord has become my personal friend and it is really very exciting. Today God is growing ever more real, relevant and very much active by his Holy Spirit in my life.

The Call:

"My Christian journey has been wonderful, not without deep sorrows but truly great joys!"

My Christian journey has been wonderful, not without deep sorrows but truly great joys! I began with prison ministry and worship music for ministry orientation.. I quickly found worship music was my greatest passion. However, I am equally zealous for outreach evangelism preaching and teaching of the Word. I am told there are so many more gifts yet to unfold!

Presently, I am now seeking a full-time ministry engagement, and a couple of doors have opened which is being investigated. My credentials will give me more credence and certainly the confidence I need to move forward in this. I have the advantage of a wonderful Mentor Minister at CLA who has personally gone ahead and sought doors of opportunities for me and helps immensely to steer me in the right direction and hold my course .. Transpired to date is I am co-opted onto the CLA UK Council. I will shortly be joining the Mentor Minister directory.

Commission:

"I am sincerely looking forward to supporting UK students."

I have a renewed and revived excitement about my future prospects in ministry I already see the seeds planted with regards to missions. I am looking forward to what this new season will bring and very grateful to be a part of seeking and raising revival leaders all over the world.

I would ask you for continued prayers for clarity of vision and for Gods grace and provision to go ahead of me and that my ministry calling may impact and wake up nations to the knowledge of our soon coming King!

SHALOM.

My name is Matthew Caffell, a leader in a transport outreach in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

My Christian walk has been anything but straightforward, in fact it has been one of ebbs and flows.

I started my walk at about eight years of age. My parents had split when I was very young. After their break up, my Dad recommitted to The Faith, and God lead him to become an Elder of a local Evangelical church. He continued in ministry in one way or another till his going to Glory in 2018.

My Mum on the other hand was not a Christian, and did almost everything she could to dissuade me from following in my father's footsteps; This caused rather a mixed upbringing, and was very hard for me to know what was right.

Thankfully God himself started to show himself to me, in the way that only He can. I remember praying true heartfelt prayers from a young age, even asking God to be my Lord and Jesus to be my Saviour, as I understood it then.

I had a varied childhood, often being the greatest advert for the Enemy, interspersed with times where I did what I was able, to be right and walking with the Lord.

I was baptised in the fountains in Trafalgar Square, London, England on Friday 13th February 1998, which was part of a great leap forward in my spiritual walk.

Whilst my walk did not run smooth, I spent a long time away from church, I never really gave up my faith.

There is more to say, but that would lengthen the way past the necessary.
What I will say is that on 28th December 2003 I was turned on to God fully, and that is the date that I count as the start of my ministry journey.

I received supernatural healing for a severe spinal injury. That day the pastor of that church invited me to become his apprentice.

I spent nine months in training with Rev Dr William Isaacs-Sodeye who is a powerful minister of the Gospel. My time with him was of great value to my walk of faith.

Over the following years I have developed a deeper relationship with God and Jesus.

God has brought the most wonderful woman to be by my side and join me in the walk of faith.

We now have two awesome daughters together.

My career has been in the transport sector, mainly as a HGV and PSV driver. God has used this experience through a ministry for truck drivers in the UK, which I have been blessed with the position of Senior Ministry lead.

This is the ministry that I have predominantly joined to help CLI further. Firstly, deepening my relationship with The Lord and all that I learn in this process, secondly, I would then be able to pass this knowledge on to those who I minister to in Jesus' name.
