MINISTRY FOCUS

The Johnsons have served in Germany, Japan, Spain, and the United States. They have worked with personnel from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, as well as their families. They have a deep desire to see people “take the next step” in following Jesus. They love teaching people how to study the Bible and enjoy seeing people find life and growth in community.

Nate serves as the Vice President for Field Ministries. His focus is on shepherding and equipping field leaders and various ministry leaders across the mission as they serve military personnel and their families worldwide.

Nate and Louise deeply love Cadence International and love sharing the gospel and their lives with those they get to serve.

FAITH

Nate came to Christ as a freshman in college after watching a fellow student live out his faith in the college dorm. Nate watched this student for weeks and was intrigued by his faith because it reflected a relationship with Christ that was different from any that Nate had seen before. He immediately got involved in a campus ministry and a local church. God used a series of internships to direct him to Cadence in 1997.

Louise came to know the Lord through a Cadence youth ministry in high school. She felt called to pursue full-time ministry as a student in high school.

FAMILY

Nate and Louise met in Germany during Nate’s summer internship with Cadence Student Ministries. Louise had grown up as a part of the local youth ministry in the community and had returned home from college for the summer. They met while working with the same middle school ministry. They got married in 1999 and began serving with Cadence in 2000. The Johnsons have four children, a son-in-law and one grandchild.
