Our Story
Matt & Apryl Haynes
Matt
I was saved at the age of eleven
after my pastor preached a
sermon on Hell and I realized
for the first time that it was
not someone else in the
congregation going there....
it was me. Not long after, God
called me to preach during a
revival meeting, and, at the age
of fourteen, I surrendered to
be a missionary to the Kurdish
people in whatever country
God led me to serve. God has
put a love for the Kurdish
people in our hearts and our
most fervent desire is to reach
them with the Gospel
and plant local churches.

Though I was a four-year-old girl, I
still remember the conviction
with which God burdened my heart when
I accepted Jesus as my Savior
after a detailed explanation
from my dad. At age eleven
, during a missions conference,
God tendered my heart and
opened my eyes to the foreign
mission field. By the end of the
conference, I had surrendered
my life to missions. There has
been incredible excitement in
my heart since the day I learned
God was calling me to reach the
Kurdish people. The Kurds have
my heart and I want to do my
part to introduce them to Jesus,
the One Who died for them.
