MATT COLLIER
Matt Collier and his wife Kelly both graduated from Bob Jones University in 1997. From there, they moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where Matt attended Heart of America Theological Seminary, graduating from the school’s Master of Divinity program in 2001.
During their years at Tri-City Baptist Church, the Lord opened up many opportunities to travel and work with camps around the world. The Board of Directors of THE WILDS Christian Camp saw the need for a ministry to help camps internationally and voted in 2000 to establish a missions arm of THE WILDS as a resource for missionaries and nationals seeking to use camping to reach young people. The result of this decision was CampsAbroad. Growing up at THE WILDS Christian Camp, the Lord has uniquely prepared Matt for this ministry. Kelly grew up in a Christian home and spent most of her life overseas, her father being a career army officer. Since 2001, the Colliers have been a part of the ministry of CampsAbroad, representing the ministry in the U.S. and traveling to well over 30 countries to work with young people.
Matt also has the privilege to serve as the pastor of Bethany Baptist Church in Brevard, North Carolina.The Lord has given Matt and Kelly a son, Gabe, who was born in March of 2005.
