Matthew Kornegay
- My name is Matthew Kornegay
- I grew up in Florida and now move frequently for minstry purposes. Most recently, I’ve lived in Mexico.
- I do non-profit work and am preparing to do field linguistics work with minority languages.
- This will be my 11th year on staff at Falling Creek (2013-2023). I’ll be working the Father/Son Weekends & Family Camp.
- I’m happiest immersing myself in and understanding new people and cultures
- If I could have dinner with anyone from history, I would choose Tychicus, the companion of Paul the Apostle
- My favorite flavor of ice cream is Kilwin’s Tracks! A Falling Creek Camp staff night-off staple.
- Something that “recharges my batteries” is getting lost (in a city or in the wilderness)
- Fun Fact: One of my ancestors was a translator between the Powhatans and the Jamestown colony after John Smith sold him to Wahunsenacawh when he was 13 years old.
