Pastor Matthew, Recovering From A Bleeding Ulcer

By Board of Directors

This note is a statement from the Board of Directors of LightHouse World Evangelism, Inc.

On Monday May 4, 2009, Pastor Matthew was admitted to the ER for major chest pain and abdominal pain.  After a CT Scan and an Endoscopy it was determined that he has a bleeding Ulcer where his stomach meets his small intestine.  Pastor Matthew was hospitalized for four days to treat the Ulcer and insure that he was out of any danger.

Pastor Matthew is now home from the hospital where he is resting.  The ulcer will take betweeen two and four months to heal, and was brought on by stress related issues.  Please be in prayer for Pastor Matthew and his family as he recovers from this painful health issue. 

We the Board have determined that the June 15th date for his return to full time ministry will now be postponed indefinetly as we see how his condition progresses.  Pastor Matthew still remains as the President of LightHouse World Evangelism, however, in a more limited capacity.   We believe that God has a lot more work for Pastor Matthew to accomplish, however, at this time his health needs to be a number one priority. 

If more information arises regarding Pastor Matthew’s health, we will keep you, are partners, notified.  Thank you for your continued prayer and support of LIghtHouse World Evangelism.  Please know that our ministry outreach will continue in the midst of Pastor Matthew’s recovery and we have great hope that Pastor Matthew will be back in full-time ministry, teaching his seminars, and traveling by the end of Summer or early Fall.

The Board of Directors
