After pastoring a wonderful church in Pleasant Hill, California for 42 years, Bill and his wife Lynette are now embarking on an ambitious, unexpected adventure: Establishing a new ministry, Safe Harbor Homes and Services---Christ-centered homes for people with special needs.

While the idea to do this came unexpectedly, God has been preparing the Mathews for this adventure for decades. Their special needs son, Kevin, is now an adult in his thirties. They have seen firsthand how the special needs community can be an unreached people group. Thousands of families face insurmountable challenges, often without practical options or hope.

We are touched by how God is already blessing this dear couple as they continue to make themselves available to serve the Lord wholeheartedly. As Bill shares, this is not a season to simply coast on to heaven...we'll have plenty of time to relax there.

You'll enjoy listening to this podcast and sensing the joy and passion of this holy adventure. Please visit their website and pray for this ministry. Also, consider ways God might use you to help move this new ministry forward.
