Senior Pastor Victory Baptist Church

Matthew Hon

Pastor · Technology Executive · Founder

I am the Senior Pastor of Victory Baptist Church in Rowlett, Texas, and the founder of Barnabas Software. With more than 25 years in enterprise technology and a lifelong calling to pastoral ministry, I created Barnabas Software to give churches the tools they deserve — tools built by someone who truly understands what ministry life is like from the inside.

Raised in a pastor's home as the oldest of nine children (all serving in ministry today), faith has always been the foundation of everything I do. Technology is simply the tool I've been given to serve the Church.

A Life Rooted in Ministry

God brought me to Victory Baptist Church in Rowlett, Texas in June 2022. On May 3, 2023, I was called as the new Senior Pastor — a role I consider the highest privilege of my life.

Growing up as the oldest of nine children in a pastor's home gave me a front-row seat to what real ministry looks like: the late-night counseling calls, the hospital visits, the weddings and funerals, the Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights. All nine of my siblings are serving the Lord in ministry today.

My wife Susan and I have been married for over 20 years and are blessed with eleven children. We are passionate about building godly homes and raising multi-generational Christians who love the Lord.

At Victory, our mission is simple: Know God. Love God. Love Others.

25+ Years at the Frontier of Technology

While serving in ministry, I simultaneously built a 25+ year career in enterprise technology — rising to CTO and Strategy Director roles at some of the world's most respected technology firms.

I have led digital transformation, cloud strategy, AI modernization, and supply chain innovation across global organizations. As CTO for the Public Sector at Fujitsu, I oversaw technology strategy for government and education clients. As Strategy Director, I drive AI and application modernization at scale.

This experience means that when I build software for churches, it's not an experiment — it's the same standard of quality, security, and reliability that I apply to Fortune 500 clients, made accessible for ministry budgets.

"Barnabas was known in the early church as the Son of Encouragement. He came alongside people and helped them succeed. That's exactly what we want Barnabas Software to do for your church."

Where Faith & Technology Meet

Most church software is built by people who understand technology. Most pastoral tools are built by people who have never written a line of code. Barnabas Software exists in that rare intersection — built by someone who has done both, for 25+ years, simultaneously.
