Our Team

 

Matt Thomas

Executive Director & FOUNDER
 

As a former convict who found God and reaped the benefits from an aftercare program in Arizona, Matt saw the great need for a similar kind of program here in the Midwest after moving to Wichita in 2011. After two years of prayer, planning, brick walls, and dead ends, God’s spirit began to move in a mighty way. An unlikely team of people was brought together, and doors that had been closed for years began to open. 

Matt is as a published author, preaches, and consults with organizations focusing on re-entry housing.

As the Executive Director, Matt provides visionary leadership and oversight for the organization.
