Me On The Sound Board

My Name is Matthew Dykstra Born June 19, 1979 and I am currently 29 years old and yes ladies I am still single HA HA HA HA.

I currently am living trying to live out my life according to what the Bible teaches us and listing to the will of the Lord for my life and moving in each step of the way.

I currently volunteer at my church The Embassy of The Kingdom of God (AKA The Embassy) along side my good friend and mentor Pastor Matt Robinson.  I volunteer mostly with the Young Adults department called embassy | this generation and do any and everything that Pastor Matt would have me do.

I mostly assist in things of a Creative Arts nature meaning all things related to sound, computers, sermon editing, stage setup, cd duplication etc etc etc… and I LOVE IT. I also volunteer with Durham House of Prayer doing sound, projection, web design and recordings.

I have a wonderful family life.. I grew up in a Christian Home with 1 sister who is now married with two wonderful kids of her own. I could be non happier for her. My mother and father have been together over 30+ years and I have never seen a better example of a strong marriage. I myself am currently single looking for that special some one.
