Dear Mars Hill Sponsors,
Greetings in the name of our Lord. I am praying for you dear friends because we live in troubling times and we all need to be spiritually vigilant.
Three years ago, I was commissioned by the Lord to begin a unique journey around the world in order to sound the alarm about the evils of the modern day slave trade, or, what is commonly referred to as human trafficking. The motorcycle became my pulpit and my audience was in the 10/40 Window.
God was using me as a forerunner or harbinger.
Then in early 2020, the CoVid19 pandemic hit the world by storm. Consequently, the MotoVisionX ministry and outreach plans in 2020 were postponed and pushed out to 2021 and 2022. (Sadly, human traffickers did not take pause and they seemed to grow in power. But as the scripture tells us, when evil comes in as a flood, He will rise up a standard against it!)
Now however, I feel in my heart something is stirring and God is about to unleash something big. In brief, this is what is afoot and what we feel God is leading us to do.
AFRICA
From September 1st to November 15th the MotoVisionX ministry team will ride across the continent of Africa.
Specifically, we are riding across the breadth of the nation in an East to West direction. We will start on the former slave trade island colony of Zanzibar and then cross over to the mainland of Tanzania. We will head north out of Tanzania to Kenya and then on to Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, Chad, Niger, Mali and Mauritania.
FYI: Lea is going to co-lead an outreach team that will coincide with our start in Zanzibar. The team will lead ministry and prayer efforts and visit historic sights of the trans-Indian Ocean slave trade. They may even go on a two day Safari on the mainland. There is limited space but if you would like to go contact her immediately at leanocas@me.com.
THE NEXT THREE MONTHS
Earlier this year, I had no idea that right here on our doorstep, on our Southern Border, the largest migration of slaves in history was taking place. I felt the Lord lead me to make a proposal to YWAM for a large scale outreach that would mobilize a few thousand short term workers to the border cities of Texas and Arizona. The aim would be to provide both spiritual help and the humanitarian aid needed by migrants. YWAM agreed and then commissioned me to lead the effort for the next three months!
Can I say this has been an unbelievable journey? Only God could choreograph this. Thank you for praying with me, hanging with me and see this to fruition.
God bless you,
Matthew

I have been hearing about an unfolding migrant crisis on the Southern Border of the USA, so I decided to take a trip there to check it out. While on this trip, I learned of some disturbing things about how this could be the largest migration of slaves in history and how human traffickers and the cartels are profiting on human misery.
