 Equipping Christian Leaders

to Fulfill the Great Comission

 Church-Planting in Manhattan, KS

In 2006, we were called by a couple of families in Manhattan, Kansas, to plant a new church in their city. The name of the new church is Christ the Redeemer Church. It consciously follows the theological tradition of the 16th century reformation and the 20th century tradition of evangelicalism. Christ the Redeemer Church practices God-centered worship, age-integrated meetings, and relationship-oriented ministry where everyone is equipped to fulfill God's mission for His people. For more information, see www.CtRChurch-mhk.org.

About Nate & Paula

 Nate’s parents, Rev. Ken & Leslie Wilson, taught him to love God and love His Word at a very early age. Paula also grew up in a Christian home and became a Christian at an early age. As a boy, Nate saw a video at his church (Briarwood PCA, Birmingham, AL) of Dr. J. Edwin Orr stating that every revival in history began with prayer meetings led by students. This instilled in Nate a passion to see the church in America revived. Right away, Nate started leading prayer meetings at Briarwood High School, begging God to bring revival, Nate also worked for many years as a counselor at Camp Briarwood, impacting the lives of the children in the church. Meanwhile Paula was busy making a stand for Christ at her public high school and and being very involved in her church youth group (Spanish River PCA, Boca Raton, FL).

When Nate went to Covenant College, he joined a prayer group right away. The president of the group began discipling Nate in missions and took Nate to hear Bob Sjogren’s Bible teaching on missions. As a result, Nate’s vision broadened from seeing America revived, to seeing world missions completed in his lifetime! Nate also met Paula there, and together they led the student mission fellowship at Covenant College. To further promote student activism in prayer and missions, Nate joined the staff of InterVarsity Missions, and began to disciple, encourage, and equip student leaders of mission fellowships at dozens of Christian colleges throughout the Southeast U.S. Nate and Paula married shortly thereafter, and Paula settled down to making a great home and discipling other women.

In 1992, Nate transferred to Caleb Project in Denver to be more strategically positioned in mission mobilization. Through Caleb Project, God widened Nate’s ministry from serving students in the Southeast to serving Christian leaders all over the world in mission mobilization. Earning an M.Div. from Sangre de Cristo Seminary has further strengthened Nate in this position of serving church leaders.

In 2004, The TentMaker Project, a church-based international mercy ministry, issued a call to Nate to serve as Director of Development. Nate accepted this because of his desire to work more closely with a local church. He worked there for almost two years to develop administrative structure, promote the mission, and help equip the church in Uganda so that they may fulfill the Great Commission.

We believe that God has used all these experiences with student ministry, missions, development, and church ministry to equip them for the multifaceted challenge of church planting. But we cannot do this in our own strength; we depend upon God's strength and the prayers and support of God's people to walk in this path of ministry!

God has blessed Nate & Paula with nine children with their feet on the ground. Nate & Paula believe that building a Godly family is the foundation of their ministry of helping key leaders around the world to fulfill the Great Commission.
