Matt Fudge came to Lincoln, Nebraska in the fall of 1997, professing to be a Christian. Pat Abendroth, then a college pastor, pointed out a lack of understanding of the gospel that kindled a personal interest in learning Scripture. It was then, during a study in the book of Romans, that Matt came to understand how Christ's life, death, and resurrection apllied to him.

Matt works in sales, is married to wife Amy, and has two children, Madison and Caleb.

"My favorite verse is probably Romans 6:4 because of the way it quickly says, without question, that God's grace is a transforming grace. His pursuit of His own glory is infused in every work which He begins."

Soon after, Robb accepted a job with the city of Omaha as a fire fighter and began attending Omaha Bible Church. Robb and his wife Angie met at UNL and married in 1994. They have four children: Peter, Benjamin, Noah and Ellie.
