Philippi Prospect Ministries was started by husband and wife ministry team, James and Rebecca
Matthews, in December of 2012. At that time, we had had an online ministry through Facebook and
Google since January of 2010, called Boaz Ministries~The Kinsmen Redeemer. This ministry has
grown to incorporate issues of general ministry, the homeless, international ministry connections,
and men’s restoration ministries. In July of that year, God impressed upon me to start Ruth
Ministries~The Virtuous Woman. It consists of various women’s restoration ministries. Then, in
September of 2011, the Lord had us begin a ministry geared toward the youth, called Timothy
Ministries~The True Son.
In July 2012, I began writing a blog, and it soon grew into six separate blogs within a few months.
The blogs seemed to blossom immediately and, here we are two and a half years later, our online
presence is now approximately 10,000 followers in 128 countries, and growing continually. We also
have several ongoing projects; some are posted weekly, and others posted as God leads. So, the
purpose of this e-magazine is to put all of our ministry components together under one ‘roof’, as
well as give others an opportunity to share their calling with the world.
We have now been ‘on the road’ for over four years. We gave up our house, and almost all our
earthly belongings, in August in 2010. Since then, we have physically ministered in 5 states-North
Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Mississippi, and Arkansas. During this time, we have actively
ministered in 36 churches, and countless homes and families. We go wherever God sends us.
We have many stories, praises, testimonies, life-lessons, and unique happenings to write about each
month. We look forward to sharing them with you.
Sincerely,
Revs. James & Rebecca Matthews
