We said farewell to our Matthew. Off he goes to conquer the world. The first GoMaD Gap Year draws to a close.

Many firsts for Matthew this year , from adventure activities, missions, overlanding, learning to eat new things, cook new things and make pizzas from scratch. Matthew did not shy away from trying and getting stuck in.

Who would have thought that one goes on a gap year and ends it off with a matric dance. He does clean up well and he did learn how to “sokkie.” Matthew has grown much this year, especially in his thinking of what it means to know God, love God, and walk as a man before Him. Seeds have been planted. Lord, continue to work in and through this young man for Your Glory. We will miss our Matthew. He became part of our home and life, and we can’t help but love these young men. God speed.
