2023 MISSION
UPDATE
Based on reports, we witnessed 135,447 people giving their lives to Jesus in person at our live Virtual Gospel Crusades and thousands more through the media. Not only that but 173 families were set free from generational slavery! We are simply in awe of all that our God is doing. Thank you for making 2023, the year of expectancy more than anything we could have imagined on our own, only God!
It has been a year of growth and expansion of eternally significant initiatives at Matthew 10! I am overflowing with humility and gratitude as I reflect on this year — God's provision for this ministry includes an incredible family who is playing a pivotal role in spreading the Gospel to the darkest and most remote villages in the world as you partner with us through prayer and financial gifts.
Time and time again, this incredibly generous community has enabled our team to follow the Lord’s leading and make a significant impact in some of the darkest places around the world — your partnership truly means the world as we continue to step out in faith.
I cannot thank you enough for being a part of this family; your time, talents, and treasure invested are making an eternal impact! At Matthew 10, our heart’s cry is to see people around the world step into spiritual & physical freedom and God is using your partnership to do just this… set captives free!
We are in awe of all that the Lord has done in 2023 alone. We have had the privilege of witnessing 135,477 salvations through 112 virtual crusades and rejoicing with 173 families as they were freed from generational slavery in brick factories — this is 1,200+ people who are now spiritually and physically FREE!
Heaven is accessible for all who believe — close enough to touch! However, for so many around the world, that is not true… yet. God has called our team to reach virtually anyone, anywhere! He continues to give us a God-sized goals — we are praying for the provision to continue to host an increasing number of crusades reaching thousands of souls, setting more slave families free, and laying the foundation for this ministry to expand.
As you have supported Matthew 10’s initiatives to share our Jesus with the darkest and most remote places around the world, you have truly embodied the essence of giving that Jesus mentions in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Your partnership with Matthew 10 is an extension of your love, empathy and commitment to spreading the Gospel of Jesus around the WORLD!
Together, we are witnessing a world come to know our Savior! He will stop at nothing to pursue His people — we are so grateful to get to do for others, what He has already done for us. Captives are being truly set free and our team will stop at nothing to chase after the calling that the Lord has given Matthew 10!

"Of everything we've given to over the last two decades, Matthew10 has had the most tangible and highest impact return on our investment. Dr. Sulack is harvesting souls from some of the most desolate countries in the world. There's no better dollar impact for your giving than backing Matthew 10."

BY THE
NUMBERS
Going Granular.
In 2023, by the grace of God, we saw on average 3,600 people profess a new faith in Christ — every single week. Wow, God!
That is a mega-church of salvation, daily. It would take a minimum of one sold-out AT&T stadiums to hold the number of people that came to Jesus in 2023. Let’s go!
In 2023, the average cost to reach each person who reported their salvation was about $7.46. That average includes spending funds to purchase Bibles, M10 Discipleship Courses, and supporting 6 crusade directors and 80 pastors, all while organizing 112 live Virtual Crusades. For context, the average cost per baptism in the mainline American church is about $1.5 million.
Not only that, we uncovered a desperate need for hundreds of families in the Middle Eastern local church. Thousands of people who had met Jesus at a crusade, are entrapped in generational physical slavery.
By God’s grace, together, we freed 173 families, made of 5-10 people per household!
COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
2023 was a year that The Lord gave us the word expectancy then proceeded to still completely blew our minds! Thanks to the generosity and kindness of our community of supporters, they organized campaigns, used their creativity to raise awareness and funds, became monthly givers, sponsored pastors’ salaries, fully underwrote operations expenses, and sponsored families out of a lifetime of generational slavery. We are so grateful to everyone who makes our mission possible!
“There are certain things that God puts on your heart and just doesn’t let go.”
This testimony comes from a dear friend of this ministry, her family played a combined significant role in freeing the Shaukat family from unimaginable life circumstances.
Brick factories in the Middle East are the horrific reality that hundreds of our brothers and sisters in just one of our local churches live in. Not only that, over four million people — families and children — are dealing with this now and in some cases have lived this way for their entire lives. Muslims are enslaving their people, but Jesus has come to set his people completely free and has allowed us to very practically do the same!
Watch Dr. Kathryn Waldrep's story of setting a family free and the impact it had on her — this is a beautiful depiction of the FULL Gospel! Before the Lord used the Waldrep's generosity to free this precious family from a brick factory, they had to make over a thousand bricks each day no matter the weather or the circumstances.
