Nate and Christina married in 2011. They have two daughters, Amara (2015) and Johanna (2019). Their family lives in Mayfield, KY. The Wood family serves as missionaries to see the good news of Jesus planted among those who are far from Jesus and without hope. Christina is currently a stay-at-home, homeschooling mother. She spends time loving our girls and our exchange students and works alongside Nate in this ministry. She is also an amazing birth doula and photographer!

We envision transformative, multiplying churches in every network of relationships that communicate and demonstrate the good news of Jesus to every person, so that every man, woman and child has repeated opportunities to know and experience the love of Jesus.  As we labor toward such a vision, we focus on three audiences: 1) connecting those far from God to Jesus, 2) helping every follower of Jesus normalize sharing the gospel and making disciples, and 3) partnering with pastors, missional leaders and church planters to increase capacity and confidence to multiply faith communities. We desire to help develop leaders from the harvest, to take the church into the frontiers of the harvest.

Our vision is to see a new generation of multiplying Jesus followers in every relational circle for the purpose of gospel saturation in western KY and beyond. We want to plant the gospel in our community and among our neighbors, resulting in a network of multiplying missional communities that make Jesus known in word and deed. Our simple goal is to listen to Jesus, do what he says, and equip others to do the same. Our prayer is that Acts 6:7 would become a reality in our region: “The word of God spread and the number of disciples increased rapidly.” If that were to take place, western Kentucky would experience the kingdom of God coming on earth as it is in heaven.
