Leadership and Vision
Leading Men in Faith and Brotherhood
At Men in Christ Global Ministries, our mission is to help men grow stronger in their faith, build meaningful Christian friendships, and live out their calling as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our leadership team is committed to encouraging men through fellowship, discipleship, and outreach. From local gatherings in Taiwan to ministry connections in Texas and North America, we seek to create opportunities for men to connect, grow spiritually, and serve together.
Through gatherings, online meetings, and outreach opportunities, we are building a global community of Christian men who support one another and pursue Christ together.

Matthew's Story
Matthew Linehan | Co-Founder | Taipei
Matthew is a grateful servant leader and follower of Jesus Christ who grew up in Geneva, Ohio relocated to Houston, Texas and is now a United States Army Veteran. Matthew has been clean, sober and saved since January of 2015 when Jesus Christ miraculously removed a debilitating 30-year alcohol and drug addiction.
Matthew Linehan helped establish Men in Christ Global Ministries with a passion for connecting men in Christian fellowship and encouraging them to grow in their faith.
Living in Taipei, Taiwan, Matthew has a heart for building community among men from different backgrounds and cultures. Through men’s gatherings, discipleship conversations, and ministry outreach, he seeks to help men develop strong spiritual foundations and lasting friendships.
Matthew believes that when men stay connected in Christian community, they are strengthened to live out their faith in everyday life.
“When men gather in Christ-centered fellowship, lives are changed and faith grows stronger.”
