My Nonprofit Reviews

My name is Dr. Mike Staudinger and I am employed as an ER physician in a rural hospital in central Wisconsin. I have been affiliated with Matthew: 25 Ministries for 30 years and have served on the board for 22 years. I essentially have grown up with these folks and therefore am in a position to give an informed opinion as to how they operate. In short, they walk the walk.
Over the years I have been on dozens of mission trips to developing nations with M25M. At times these involved disaster relief such as food, water, and clothing distribution, medical clinics, and building housing for earthquake victims. Other trips dealt with development work ranging from updating hospital wards and repairing schools, to supplying a hydroelectric generator so a remote village could have electricity, to building a community center. We helped start a dairy co-op with a group of Nicaraguan farmers and built a hotel in Haiti so missionaries could get safe food and sleep in a safe environment.
Where there is a need M25M finds a way to fill it, and all in a third world setting which is inherently unpredictable due to uncooperative governments, unreliable transportation, and questionable ( often nonexistent) supply chains. This is accomplished by a seasoned administration with a clarity of purpose and a staff with a dedication to mission who consistently meet and exceed challenges with integrity, patience, and grace. God has truly blessed the efforts of M25M and I am blessed to be a small part of it.
