Joel Atwood
Dr Joel Atwood is a missionary who equip future leaders in the South Pacific Region. Joel is passionate about seeing young people in the South Pacific encounter Jesus and live transformed lives for His glory. Having worked in both student ministry and church life across the region, Joel has seen firsthand the challenges young people face in understanding and living out the gospel—especially those in tertiary education.
In a context where the church is strong but many students still struggle to engage with God’s Word, Joel is committed to encouraging and equipping local Christian campus staff across the Pacific. He works to support and train emerging leaders so they can reach, disciple, and send out students with the gospel in their hearts, on their lips, and guiding their hands.
Believing deeply in the power of relationships and long-term partnership, Joel is dedicated to building trust and community so that gospel work can flourish across generations.
