Dear missionally frustrated pastor…

Hi. I’m Nathan.

I’m a forty-something Jesus-follower, dad, and local mission coach.

I've spent the first two decades of my working life as a teacher, youth pastor and cross-cultural missionary. I’m hoping to spend the rest of it working for the revitalisation of the church in New Zealand.

“Nathan is passionate about God, the Gospel, and seeing churches and church leaders become more engaged and more effective in mission and disciple-making. I’ll state this as simply as I can: Pathways Coaching with Nathan will lead to more people hearing the gospel, coming to faith, and being discipled in your context – and will lead to more of your church community becoming involved in this process.”

Rev. Paul Milson, Brightwater Anglican Churches

“The Pathways methodology has given me and my team a clear blueprint to follow in the mission space, which in the past has been unclear. We now have a tool to work out where we are in our missional engagements with people and where we are heading to help people on the journey to faith in Jesus.”

Rev. Glen Ashworth, Nativity Church, Blenheim

Pathways to mission.
