A Tribute to Walter Matthews, Retired Director
from Alicia Hartle
Pentecost Today USA, Current Executive Director
The legacy of Walter and Claire Matthews’ work alongside Renewal leaders from across the nation is the fabric of the National Service Committee – a strong foundation for the new work of Pentecost Today USA.
The Holy Spirit is moving swiftly, and it is the weight of the glory of the Lord’s mighty work through the faithful service of Walter and Claire Matthews in holy collaboration with many others that is propelling us forward to raise up younger generations and to bring baptism in the Holy Spirit to the whole Church.
Walter and Claire, I am undone by your love. I treasure your prayers, your witness, your wisdom, and your tremendous care. The love of our Heavenly Father and our Lord Jesus Christ dwell richly within you. I praise God for you and for the glorious work of the Spirit of the Living God through you.
May the Lord deepen and widen the tent pegs of your rich legacy with the blessing, He gave to Abraham and Sarah (Gen 17:1-8), and make you the father and mother of many nations.
“… I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you.” – Genesis 17:5-7
