Nate and his wife Heidi were previously the directors of Jubilee Master’s Commission. At the end of the JMC year 2010, they were launched into the next step of their calling and became the lead ministers of Fusion Ministries in June of that year. They still had a passion for the Master’s Commission program and so decided to keep the program going under its new name, Joint Master’s Commission (based off of Ephesians 4:16).
Nate and Heidi carry a passion to see the message of the Kingdom of God infiltrate the whole earth. Their heart is to pass the culture of God’s Kingdom on to the next generation through the Biblical relationship of father to son. They both have hearts like that of a father and live their lives for the next generation. They demonstrate the love of God as they lay down their lives for others and continually live with passion, loyalty and risk.
Nate and Heidi have four beautiful children between the ages of 6 and 10: Israel, Corban, Shekinah, and Zion.
