MISSION SUNDAY MISSIONARIES
The South Pacific
Nathaniel and Rachel Ferguson have been
working with the Pacific Islands Bible College [PIBC]
since January of 2021.
Rachel Ferguson is the daughter of Jeff and
Cindy Madaris. Jeff is an elder of the Logan Martin
Church of Christ and no stranger to many of us. Rachel
has been brought up in the Church, and has a servant
heart endeavoring to fulfill pure and undefiled religion
before God. Rachel and Nathaniel have fostered six
children in total and in 2021 they were finally able to
adopt two of the six, Atticus and Zoe.
Nathaniel is the son of Stacy and Kathy
Ferguson who have been involved in missions since
1996. Nathaniel grew up following his parents into the
mission fields of the South Pacific. It is second nature
for him to travel into jungles and even hike to remote
settlements, taking the Gospel where technology has
not arrived. Nathaniel seems to thrive where modern
amenities have not. Where air conditioning is as foreign
as he is, this is when he jumps into action. This makes
Nathaniel a pioneer in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Nathaniel and his father Stacy work closely in taking on
the work of the Pacific.
Nathaniel and Rachel may now have the most
important role for the Pacific Islands, as he is
responsible for 22 island locations representing 15
countries. Their work is a lot like Eddie Cloer with
Truth for Today. They are striving to equip the
indigenous people for the work of ministry. Yet
Nathaniel goes to meet the brethren where they are to
conduct PIBC Bible courses. These missions are
primarily to support the local native brethren.
However, non-Christians often show interest during the
PIBC courses, which results in personal one-on-one
Bible studies in addition to the courses. The Ferguson
family has been able to attend several trips together in
the field where Zoe and Atticus are being equipped with
the same upbringing Nathaniel had.
We need young families like the Fergusons who
are willing to take up the mantle. Many of our
missionaries in the field are older and desperately
looking for men and women like the Fergusons. They
need our support! Our prayers! Our admiration! This
Wednesday, the Fergusons will be with us to bring our
final report and our missions quarter to a close. You will
be blessed to hear of the work being done through this
dynamic family. Every time I hear Nathaniel, he gets me
excited for the work. It makes me proud that we have a
young couple who has seen the need and a way to take
the Gospel! Let’s help in sending them.
