Who is Matt?

Matt Perusse is a revivalist (evangelist) and founder of Firebrand Ministries who was born in the great Pacific Northwest and raised in a broken home in a broken society, without the knowledge of Jesus Christ. In His early adulthood, like a “brand plucked from the fire,” Matt’s life was totally and radically transformed by the love and truth of Jesus Christ and his heart now burns for Revival, preaching of the gospel, loving Jesus and uniting the church. He is eager to see the greatest move of the Kingdom of God right now! On earth as it is in heaven! Matt and his wife Amy have the fire of God on the inside and live to ignite others in coming to know this Good News and in igniting and fanning the flame of Revival across the world. They are FIREBRANDS for the Kingdom of God!

Matt's Testimony... 

Matt was born and raised in his early years in Seattle in the area known as Capitol Hill, an area often referred to as the “Sodom & Gomorrah of the Pacific NW” and is also known now for the “CHOP zone” during the pandemic-era. Matt grew up in a broken and violent home and faced many challenges emotionally and physically, resulting in becoming a violent, angry, and somewhat hopeless young man who had found himself in some pretty daunting (and life-threatening) circumstances.

​

At 18 years old he was arrested on felony drug charges. While in the police car, he heard the whisper of God and knew peace for the first time in his life. Somehow, he knew it was going to be okay. While out on bail, he was invited to church where he encountered the Holy Spirit and presence of God and realized it was the same feeling of peace as he felt in the police car. He then surrendered his life to Jesus and became born again during that time. He was transformed by the Holy Spirit, the rage had disappeared, the need for drugs was gone, he felt love, and life, and purpose! He was becoming a new creation!

 

Soon he began preaching and ministering. Often receiving words of knowledge and witnessing many salvations, healings, and miracles through street & community outreaches, and revival meetings. Matt has had the privilege of pastoring in multiple congregations, and the Lord has called him to enter into his true calling of evangelism full time. Matt has become a full time evangelist laying his life down for the gospel and to spread the Good News of the Kingdom like a wildfire, locally, across the nation, and around the world with Firebrand Ministries.
