Dr. Matt Carter said, here I am, Lord, send me at an early age.

He led a small group of people to plant the Austin Stone Community Church in 2002.

And it has grown to over 7,500 people, with over half active in disciple groups.

Over the last 18 years, God has also led Pastor Matt Carter to take the gospel into the neighborhood

by planting six different campuses all over the city of Austin.

In 2009, God led him to launch the 100 People Network.

From the very beginning, we have really defined our success not so much by how many people we can get to come into the doors,

and then don't just stay in the doors of a church, but come and get equipped to the church,

and then are sent to the community and to the nations.

There are unreached people groups in this world

that have never heard the name of Jesus Christ, and it is absolutely our biblical responsibility

to engage in that. And so from our church, we're going to be sending 100 people from the body

to those unreached people groups. Called goers to date,

270 full-time goers or missionaries

have been sent to the ends of the earth.

And over 3,000 goers have gone on short-term mission trips.

This original movement led to the development of For the Nations,

an organization that plants churches and places that desperately needed.

While leading the Austin Stone, Pastor Matt Carter also co-founded for the city, a nonprofit that

connects people in their home city of Austin, to opportunities to serve people all over the city

in many different ways. And now he has a new opportunity as the lead pastor of Sagemont Church to focus on sending

a whole new congregation.
