Rev. Matt Walton (Ordained Southern Baptist Minister) Director Child Evangelism Fellowship Ma'ema e Elementary School RN With more than twenty years of minis try experience, Matt is passionate about inspiring, equipping and empowering students and adults to effectively share the Gospel with every child in Hawaii. Matt accepted Christ as his Savior at the age of eight years old in a small country church in rural NC. His home church continues to play a vital role in his ongoing service to the Lord. Starting as early as high school, Matt began to serve and help teach in children and youth ministry. Later, he earned a Masters of Christian Education from Campbell University Divinity School. Matt served in youth and children's ministry for about fifteen years in his home state of NC before God called him and his wife Stacey to serve with Child Evangelism Fellowship of Hawaii. Matt currently serves as the state director for Child Evangelism Fellowship of Hawaii. Stacey and Matt made Hawaii their home in 2012 and have enjoyed seeing God begin to reestablish CEF as the most effective children's ministry outreach in Hawaii. When they arrived, God gave them a clear vision for the ministry and work of CEF here in the islands. That vision was and is that every child on every island can hear the Gospel by the age of twelve. Their mission is to inspire, train and equip students and adults to effectively share the Gospel with the children of Hawaii. Together, Matt & Stacey look forward to the day when every island has a vibrant and healthy CEF presence. Until then, they are looking forward to many more years of serving along-side churches and individuals with the same passion for reaching children with the Gospel. CEF Hawaii Vision Statement: Our vision is that every child on every island can hear the Gospel by the age of twelve.
