Nigel Christensen, Celebrate Messiah New Zealand

Nigel Christensen

North Island Representative

Having parents who have been serving in Jewish ministry for over 45 years, Nigel was raised in an environment where God’s love for Israel and the Jewish people was vibrantly expressed. This gave Nigel excellent insight into God’s plans and purposes concerning Israel, past, present, and future. God was enabling him to become a useful resource for local churches and small groups. Nigel speaks on a range of topics that give the perspective and context of the Jewish writers of the New Testament. He also enjoys showing how the Old Testament Scriptures point to Messiah.  

As a young boy and teenager, he didn’t always appreciate the significance of having to sit through a lifetime’s worth of Passover Seder banquets by the time he was a young adult. But he now understands the unique privilege and insight this gave him, especially as he is now leading several Messianic Passover events every year. 

Nigel currently lives on the Kapiti Coast with his wife Nicola and four children, and in 2019 started reaching out to travelling Israelis with a free Welcome to Wellington tour followed by a BBQ.

Nigel has an earnest desire to assist New Zealand believers to be authentic in their Christian life so that they can be effective witnesses to the lost sheep of Israel. He is currently working part-time with CMNZ and will move into a full-time role as and when the Lord provides.

What others are saying

Nigel Christensen’s passion and knowledge for the Bible mixed with his wit and speaking ability make him a great addition to any event. We have been lucky enough to have him speak both at our church The Kings Arms and more recently at Forest Lakes Easter Camp 2017 where he shared on the Jewish Passover tradition and history. He delivered the message in a way that was good for both old and new Christians alike with great teaching and participation. I highly recommend Nigel. If you are looking for a passionate speaker on the Word of God he is your man.

We are writing to commend Nigel Christensen as he exercises the gifts God has given him in teaching, preaching and discipling. Nigel has been a member of the fellowship at the Coast Community Church for 18 years and during that time we have seen him seek to exercise and increase in his areas of gifting. Nigel is a clear communicator with an in-depth knowledge of the Bible which he shares in a manner that makes the teaching clear and accessible for people from all walks of life. He has a passion for people engaging with the Word of God and applying it to their lives.

We are supportive of Nigel as he seeks to minister full time to the churches of New Zealand and his involvement in the ministry of Celebrate Messiah. We would encourage you to consider how you can prayerfully and practically support Nigel as the Lord leads you.
