Matt Doktor & Family
The Doktor family has been with Family Missions Company since 2019. Their first mission post was beautiful Taiwan where Matt, Kelly, and their three girls spent two and a half years learning Chinese, adapting to the beautiful culture, and ministering primarily to the spiritual poverty of the children there. While on mission, Kelly was diagnosed with cancer. So the Doktors returned to the US during the summer of 2022 where Kelly passed away less than a year after being diagnosed. True to her missionary heart, Kelly offered her suffering right up to the end for the conversion of hearts and salvation of souls.
Currently, Matt and his three daughters—Sadie, Sophie, and Eva—are stateside. While they all continue to have a zeal for foreign missions, they are using this time to focus on the New Evangelization in Southern Louisiana with Matt teaching theology at a local high school. God has been so good to them, and they are all doing well! Please pray for the Doktor family as they continue to discern how and where the Lord is calling them to serve Him.
