Prior to marriage, Matt & Carrie both felt the calling to global medical missions. After several short-term mission trips, the Lord continue to draw and affirm their heart’s desire to full-time medical missions. They have two amazing young daughters, Maelyn and Everley, who the Lord has graciously blessed them with.
Their family’s first journey began in the Congo and then, they served in Zambia. God used those years to stir their hearts for the unreached people groups in the 10/40 window (https://joshuaproject.net/resources/articles/10_40_window). Through much prayer, the Lord guided and directed their steps to partner with a ministry in Thailand.
Matthew is a Family Nurse Practitioner, certified in First Assist Surgery with burn and plastic surgery experience. His background also includes trauma ICU, internal and emergency medicine, tropical medicine, outpatient clinics and testosterone therapy clinics. His passion is to meet people’s physical needs in order to meet their spiritual needs. He loves to obtain and share knowledge. However, he is most passionate about discipleship!
Carrie is a Registered Nurse. Most of her nursing experience includes adult and pediatric cardiac ICU. She also has NICU and burn ICU experience. In 2016, she co-founded an anti-human trafficking organization, Reclaim611, which she co-led until entering the mission field. She has a deep love for evangelism, is enthusiastic about teaching and enjoys hosting people.
The Taylors anticipate God working mightily in the hearts of the unreached people in Thailand. They are honored to partner in cross-cultural missions and pray for spiritual transformation in places where the gospel has yet to penetrate.
Philippians 2:9-11, “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
