Bonham, Nathan & Nikki

Nate and Nikki's desire for foreign missions began shortly after they married in 2004. After several years working in secular vocations, Nate earned his master of divinity and Nikki earned her masters in Christian Education from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi. Nate is an ordained teaching elder (pastor) in the Presbyterian Church in America. They served on staff in various roles at a church plant in Mississippi for almost seven years before leaving for the field.

The Bonhams arrived in South America in 2012 and spent their first year in Bogota, Colombia, where they attended language school and served alongside a new church plant. In late 2013, they transitioned to Arequipa, Peru, where they have served for almost six years in church revitalization, discipleship, counseling, and pastoral and lay training. They launched Seminario Bíblico Reformado in 2018, which serves almost 200 students across several countries. Also in 2018, Nate began serving MTW in the role of regional director of South America.

The Bonham family will transition to Medellín, Colombia, to open a new work for MTW, continue extending the reach of Seminario Bíblico Reformado, and work toward church planting in the growing cities of Medellín and Rio Negro. Their desire is to see Christ-centered and biblically based churches planted across South America, and they believe this is accomplished through the Holy Spirit working through ministries of evangelism, discipleship, and mercy ministry. Please pray for Nate, Nikki, and their three boys, and please consider supporting their work in South America.
