Ed Nichols was called to ministry at the age of 17, and has been a Nazarene pastor for 40 years in Idaho and Oregon. Kim Nichols was called to ministry in her mid 20’s and has been a bivocational classroom teacher and associate pastor in both California and Oregon.
Ed has a bachelor’s degree in Religion from Northwest Nazarene College (now University). He has served in youth ministry, pastoral ministry, and as a volunteer missionary in Dominica. Kim has a B.A. in elementary education and an M.A. in Spiritual Formation from NNU. Her district service includes Bible quizzing, camp directing, and NMI council.
Ed and Kim were married in 2015. Ed has four grown children, and they are blessed with eight grandchildren. Together, they served a local church in Oregon for five years prior to moving to Guatemala.
They have been volunteer missionaries in Guatemala/Nor Central Field, and will be returning as sponsored employee missionaries for the Church of the Nazarene. They continue to be surprised and excited by this direction God has taken them. The cry of their hearts continues to be the same response as that of Isaiah, “Here am I, send me.” (Isaiah 6:8)
A pledge is any amount you commit to give to support a missionary, even if you are not prepared to give in full right now. You can set up a recurring gift or give on your own schedule to fulfill your pledge, either through this site or with a check. Pledging an amount even before you are able to give it allows a missionary to count on your future support.
