These Are People I Love: New Zealand

Have you met my friends Nate & Whitney Hutchison?

In 2007, Nate & Whitney took a big risk and moved to New Zealand from the USA to help start new churches. Raising kids and starting churches internationally is a beautiful mess of a life, and they love it. All three of their kiddos were born in New Zealand. They're little kiwis! They desire to love God, to love each other, and to live in such a way that teaches their children to do the same.


 

They started Church Northwest in 2019!

My Haiti

Since July 4, 2009, I've gone to Haiti 29 times. I love Haiti. Haiti has become my home. My family lives in Haiti. My friends live in Haiti. My children live in Haiti. I love Haiti. Haiti has taught me how to love, how to be a friend, how to serve, how to listen, and how to be a lifelong learner.

Let me introduce you to the people I love...
