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 master’s 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 served in church revitalization, discipleship, counseling, and pastoral and lay training. In December 2020, they moved to Rionegro, Colombia, on the outskirts of Medellín to open a new field for MTW. 

Nate is currently serving as pastor and church planter of Iglesia El Redentor (Redeemer Church) in Rionegro, as well as in areas of theological education, pastoral training, and biblical counseling. Nikki serves in education, discipleship, and ministry to women and children. They are both passionate about hospitality as a means for evangelism and discipleship. They desire to see Christ-centered and biblically based churches planted across the region of Eastern Antioquia in Colombia. Please pray for Nate, Nikki, and their three boys, and please consider supporting their work in Colombia.
