Matt has been with Donoho Prairie Christian Church for over 10 years. He and his wife, Joy have four grown children and several grandchildren. We have seen tremendous growth in numbers, but more importantly deep spiritual growth under his leadership. In addition to his ministry, he is the Regional Superintendent of schools for four counties, plus a co-owner of a little ice cream shop called Yellin’ Helen’s in Dix, Illinois. Through that business, many people have been reached for Christ. Even with all his responsibilities, he is always ready and willing to help or serve anyone in need. He is energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable, yet humble and wise. A true servant of Christ!
I’d like to nominate my Pastor Johnnie Wilson for a lot of reasons. He brings God’s word every week. He makes sure he looks out for all his members. If you need help, he will be right there to help. Both him and his wife will be there to help anyone that needs it. He has helped me and my parents out several times. Once my electric went off and he helped me to get it back on, another time my parents needed a vehicle because a tree hit their’s and he found one for them. He always tells you how it is no matter if you want to hear it, and it is always something that you need to hear. He makes sure that you use your gifts that God has given you. Want to say thank you to my Pastor, and his wife. Like we say at church the base is the place.
