About Nash Family Missions

Matthew and Onnalisa Nash were married in 2006 and have three children, Madison, Parker, and Nora. They have been involved in many different areas of ministry. Prior to missions they served on the church leadership team as the leaders of Guest services. They were over the ushers, seaters, greeters, and welcome center attendants as well as monthly guest receptions. They have also taught Sunday school in nursery, school age, youth, and Hyphen and were members of the youth staff. They both sang in the church choir and were praise team singers. They were a part of the Multicultural ministry leadership team and were young married’s leaders.

Onnalisa also helped with ESL classes and is a certified TEFL/TESOL teacher. In 2020 they went on their first AIM appointment to Botswana and Zimbabwe for 3 months. They ministered at many churches and taught classes at the Bible school in Zimbabwe. In November 2021 they went on their next AIM appointment to Fiji for 9 months. Then went for a second AIM/AMP term, January of 2023, for 15 months to Fiji. Throughout both terms in Fiji they ministered at many different churches, taught classes at the Bible school, they started a Bible Quizzing program, and helped as furlough replacement for the missionaries for 9 months. Matt completed many different maintenance projects at the Fiji UPCI Headquarters and Bible School and helped with two new church builds. Onnalisa helped with administrative duties at the Bible school which included transitioning the online program to a new platform and spoke at Sunday school and women’s ministry seminars.

As appointed missionaries to the unreached nation of French Polynesia they will be pioneering a new work to establish the first UPCI church there. They are looking forward to embracing the culture and making as many connections as possible to see this new work thrive and grow.
