Matthew Karchner

About Matthew Karchner

The Lord brought me to my knees in repentance out of a gay lifestyle and laundry list of addictions 12 years ago, gave me peace, new life and fulfilling purpose.

With God, all things are possible (Matt 19:26). Praise the Lord!

Having founded a nonprofit, today I am a missionary, based in Cambodia (next to Vietnam). Primarily I share my story and the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ with the LGBTQ and help churches reach out to them.

My story and calling place me in a challenging position. Taking fire from both the secular world and many professing Christians, I was forced to resign from a lucrative corporate career path with PNC Bank.

I have been accused and marginalized by church leadership who seem to feel that the "difficult truth" I am called to share threatens their very way of life (e.g. attendance, income).

My third testimony book, "The Church: We Shoot Our Wounded," sheds light on these stories. Writing it was both painful and therapeutic. I trust that the Lord will use it to inspire change.

Please consider having me on your show.
