Matt &
Jody R.

After being introduced to Friends Network (formerly FoC) in 2000 and having initial interest in

going overseas in 2001, the Lord led Matt and Jody to delay that decision until 2012. That year

they and their 3 kids ventured to East Asia.

​

The work has been on their hearts ever since returning to America in 2013. In the meantime,

the couple has hosted foreign exchange students (Nic and Andy are still part of the family). They

have both led WELS Mission Journeys groups, both foreign and domestic, and have served on

the FoC/FN board for the past 10 years. In addition, they have been active in their home

church, where Jody serves as a preschool teacher and teen leader. Matt is the Family Nurture

Chairman.

​

Now with 3 grown children: Joshua (wife Sydney), Caleb and Kyrie, the Lord has led them back to

Asia to minister to the lost. They would like to welcome you to join their team with prayer and

support.
