A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…
God spoke to a young snot-nosed boy named Matthew G. Trouten to prepare himself to serve and minister to others. As time went by, many trials, tribulations, and things that people should not go through created Matthew. Today Matthew is a simple man with a mighty God. Matthew received education in recreational therapy and elementary education from NCTC and OSU. Matthew loves the performing arts and has performed all over the United States, learning and the art of humor therapy. Matthew is passionate about missionary work and has served in Haiti, Cuba, Mexico, Israel, Bosnia Herzegovina, and Mansfield, Ohio, where he highly enjoys working with individuals with disabilities. It has been Matthew’s joy to work and grow with the McElvain family for 15 years.
