Matthew Gamble was born and raised Catholic but became an atheist at the age of 14.  Having become fascinated by the Rastafarian religion Matthew found himself, at the age of 19, on the island of Jamaica.  He soon began smuggling marijuana into Miami, Florida.  It was shortly after this time that God lead him into the Seventh-day Adventist Church where he received a Bible and began reading about the Living Christ.  Since that time he has received a BA in theology as well as a Masters of Divinity from Andrews University.  He is presently working towards a Doctorate in Ministry with an emphasis in the Emerging Church specifically looking at trends of effective communicators of the Gospel in a postmodern culture.  He is a full time pastor with the Washington Conference where he has just planted 24-SEVEN Ministry Center in what was recently ranked the most “godless city” in the United States: Seattle, Washington. 

Matthew has a passion for preaching from God’s Word.  He has had the opportunity
to return back to Jamaica to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.  Not to mention preaching in Canada, Mexico, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Haiti, China, Costa Rica, Bermuda, Hungary, Australia and all over the United States.  Matthew also volunteers as a teacher at the Union Gospel Mission of Seattle in addition to volunteering as a chaplain with the Seattle Police Department. 

He is ecstatically married to the former Susan Mentges, his college sweet heart.  She is attending Medical School at the University of Washington.
