Matt & Maddy Lavers
We joined the team at Quiet Waters in August 2023, ready for new things in an exciting setting. Married at the beginning of June, and living as ‘nomads’ for a short while, it became clear that God had been calling us here as He confirmed it through prayer and timely decisions. He certainly directs our paths.
Matt has always had ‘green fingers’ and a love for the outdoors and enjoys working alongside the wonderful gardening volunteers. In addition, three years studying theology in Bristol has very much enlarged Matt’s affection for the active Body of Christ in the United Kingdom and spurred him to lend a helping hand in service. Maddy has enjoyed finding her place at Quiet Waters and within the team, drawing on previous experience caring for people and seeking to nurture and facilitate those coming through the doors. We are both expectant that God will continue to use us here for His purposes.
It hasn’t taken us long to settle in Bungay and the surrounding area. We’ve found a local church, explored some new places on days off and we have lots of adventures planned for the future. The river Waveney is both beautiful and practical in its location and has allowed Matt plenty of exploration by kayak, while Maddy has explored the Bungay locality on the hunt for cottage pottery!
Witnessing how God has met people at their points of need, even in our short time here, it fills us with confidence thatGod will continue to use this house and those who serve within it.
