Humble Beast and a heart to serve.
Auckland
Twenty one months ago my wife and I attended a music festival, it was during this festival that we met three wise men from a group named “Beautiful Eulogy” of Humble Beast.
Lengthy story short, a few months down the track they asked me to photograph a conference they were running in Portland, Oregon (where their label Humble Beast is based). We had the time of our lives.
Fast forward a year and here we are.
It turns out that my wife and I fell in love with the city of Portland, but more so the people of Portland. Our time there gave us a glimpse into the non profit ministry that is Humble Beast, who do incredible work creating content that blesses so many. They also give all their music away for free!
It was also the first time in my life that I realised this is what I want to be doing, and these are the sort of people that I want to be doing it with. Merging creativity and theology with likeminded people, for the benefit of others.
In two weeks my wife, my baby and I will board a plane back to Portland, Oregon. I'll be serving Humble Beast as a Photographer. This time however for six months.
I have resigned from my job to make this happen. The work I'll be doing is also completely voluntary (scary I know). But we know this is something we can't wait to be a part of.
I will also be serving a creative studio named 'Nova Nimbus', which is run by two of the the most talented and generous people I know.
So why am I writing this?
We need to ask for something that we naturally aren't inclined to ask for... your help.
Kylie and I have been saving for this trip for a number of months (thanks partly to moving in with my parents). We have also been blessed beyond measure by an incredible couple in Portland that have offered for us to stay with them while we are there.
We aren't expecting everyone that reads this to partner with us. However if you are wanting to help us out by donating we would be incredibly grateful. We would also be equally honored if you would support us in prayer as we embark on the biggest adventure of our lives (so far).
We understand that some of you have likely been impacted in one way or another by the ministry and music of Humble Beast.
This opportunity is literally a dream come true for us. So if you have any questions or would like to chat more in person, please get in touch!
Thank you from our hearts,
Mathew, Kylie and Amos
