The Story
About Matt Knighton
Matt Knighton is a passionate teacher and a dedicated student of the Word of God. Alongside his wife, Kate, he balances the leadership of a successful web development business with a profound calling to both local and international ministry.
A Journey of Restoration
Matt’s life began with a miracle. Born prematurely in the United Kingdom and not expected to survive, he was raised in a secular home—yet he was never without hope. His grandmother, a faithful member of the Church of England, prayed for him constantly from infancy. In the 1980s, his family immigrated to Australia to seek better health opportunities. Despite this fresh start, Matt’s teenage years were marked by hardship, eventually leading to a struggle with drug addiction.
Everything changed in his 20s when Matt met Kate and heard the Gospel for the first time. Captivated by the love of God and the power of Christ, he surrendered his life to Jesus. In a powerful move of God, he was miraculously delivered from addiction. This radical transformation birthed a hunger for Scripture that continues to define his life today.
Faith, Family, and Business
Following their marriage in 2005, Matt and Kate spent three years working in Sydney’s banking sector. In 2008, they felt a clear call to relocate to Parkes, New South Wales, to support the family farm. This move launched a season of new beginnings: they established their own business while stepping in to volunteer at their local church.
Their heart for service led them to become Youth Pastors, and during this time, Matt was invited to travel overseas for his first short-term evangelistic missions. Today, that call has matured into a global ministry supported by radio and internet broadcasts.
The call to the nations
Global Evangelism
Matt’s heart for the nations has taken him across the globe as an evangelist. He has ministered extensively throughout Asia and the Pacific—including Malaysia, Mongolia, Indonesia, Borneo, the Philippines, Vietnam, and the Solomon Islands—as well as across India.
His work in Africa has spanned Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, and Togo, where he frequently speaks at conferences and leads outdoor crusades. Whether ministering to the sick or equipping local pastors through intensive teaching, Matt is committed to the global move of God.
Credentials & Affiliations
Matt and Kate are currently further equipping themselves as students at RHEMA Bible Training Centre Australia. They both serve in there local church which is part of Australian Christian Churches.
Matthew is the Australian co-ordinator for International Christian Ministries (ICM), based in Malaysia, and is an active member of the International Convention of Faith Ministries (ICFM) Australia.
