Bringing every single person to know the Father's heart and experience His love.

Cristeven Nigkersen Ministries

Cristeven Nigkersen Ministries (CNM) is a ministry with a heart focused on refathering. We bring the Heavenly Father’s heart to the nations, reaching generations so they can live in their true identity and love, and guiding them toward spiritual maturity to fulfill God’s calling in each of them.

Ps. Cristeven

Ps. Cristeven was born again at the age of 19—a profound spiritual turning point that ignited a deep desire within him to know the Heavenly Father and make Him known to others. His call to ministry came after a life-changing, personal encounter with the Lord. Since his college days in Jakarta, he was already serving with a burning passion to see generations restored. Ps. Cristeven holds his undergraduate and master’s degrees in Indonesia.

Ps. Cristeven is married to his wife, Ps. Fung and together they are blessed with three children. In 2000, he and his beloved wife moved to the United States, where they worked and continued their ministry together. Ps Cristeven and his beloved family eventually returned to Indonesia in 2008, fully dedicated to carrying forward the Father’s vision.

Throughout his life and ministry, he noticed that so many people live without direction or identity simply because they have never experienced the true love of the Heavenly Father. This gave Ps Crist a deep desire: to bring the Father’s heart to the nations and guide people back to their true identity as God’s beloved children. He firmly believes that knowing the Father and restoring identity as His children is the foundation for healing, spiritual maturity, and fulfilling the calling God has for every believer in His church.

More than just a teacher or preacher, Ps. Cristeven is widely known as a ‘father’ in faith. He delights in walking alongside, discipling, and nurturing individuals, helping them grow into a life of holiness and spiritual maturity. This passion led him to found Refathering Nations Community Church (RNCC), a ministry dedicated to fathering a generation into the love of God and raising them into maturity within a healthy community, that is a family of God. Today, Ps. Cristeven also actively shares the Gospel through digital media, reaching and impacting millions of viewers worldwide.

Why Refathering

What has shaped my understanding of the Heavenly Father all this time?

So many people grow up physically, yet remain emotionally "fatherless" never truly knowing the Father's heart. They grow up without genuine love, not living their true identity as beloved sons and daughters, and drifting without a clear direction or purpose in life.
Yet, the Heavenly Father’s heart is fixed entirely on us. His deepest longing is for us to know Him not just as God, but intimately as our Father.

In a world caught up in a restless search for identity and true love, Cristeven Nigkersen Ministries (CNM) exists for one single purpose: to bring the Heavenly Father’s heart to every individual and nation. We believe that our Father in heaven is neither distant nor detached. He loves us. He longs for us. He welcomes us.

Fatherless is about so much more than just the physical absence of a dad. Many people have an earthly father, yet have never actually experienced the presence, warmth, and love of a father spiritually or emotionally. To be fatherless is a condition of the heart—a deep sense of being unloved and unvalued, belonging to nobody, left without direction or identity.

The Impact of Fatherlessness

Many grow older in years, yet remain deeply wounded within, staying trapped as infants in their faith, as fatherlessness generates:
– Identity crisis (not knowing who you truly are before God)
– Deep inner wounds (resulting from rejection, neglect, or traumas)
– Rebellion (acting out because of not living in acceptance and love)
– Sins & Addiction (being under the bondage of sins)
– Broken relationships (an inability to trust others, let alone trust the Heavenly Father)

Why Do I Need to be "Refathered"?

Because your Heavenly Father desires to heal and restore every one of His children to their original, created design and purpose (Gen. 1:28). To be refathered means knowing the true Father, reclaiming your identity as His beloved sons and daughters, and fully receiving His love and acceptance. It is about relational restoration that grow people into spiritual maturity.
