Matthew Ellison, who joined us in a previous episode, has become a very good friend of mine. We're walking through life together, experiencing many new and exciting things that God is doing through his ministry, Sixteen:Fifteen. 

I think I mentioned this in our last episode, his books had a profound impact on what we are doing at CCV. They really made me rethink the purpose of missions and why we're here. Matthew's books -  "When Everything is Missions" and "Conversations When Everything is Missions", had a huge impact on me and our work.

Matthew Ellison, is the President and Church Missions Coach at Sixteen: Fifteen, he served as a missions pastor at a mega-church for nine years, helping them transition from a reactive approach to world missions to a proactive one. During this time he realized that there was a growing wave of churches no longer content to only support missions, instead, they desired active global engagement. This led to the founding of Sixteen:Fifteen. Since 2004 he has been coaching churches across the United States, helping them to develop missions vision and strategy that fulfills the biblical mandate while taking into account their unique gifts, talents, and passions as local bodies of believers.
