About The Navigators:
We are The Navigators—a Christian ministry that shares the gospel of Jesus and helps people grow in Christ through Life-to-Life® discipleship, creating spiritual generations of believers. Since our founding in 1933, we’ve remained committed to our calling: “To know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same®.”
We believe discipleship happens person-by-person and by encouraging spiritual growth across all life stages. A disciple is someone who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, intentionally seeks to learn from Him, and desires to live more like Him. For us, discipleship accomplishes this by walking alongside others: praying together, studying God’s Word, sharing life, and equipping them to do the same with others. As spiritual generations multiply, we’ve seen God transform lives in powerful ways.
To reach and disciple all people in all places, The Navigators includes a wide variety of ministries and a broad family of missionaries, supporters, and volunteers. We engage people where they live, work, worship, and play—on college campuses and military bases, in inner cities and workplaces, in churches and neighborhoods, and even in places where the gospel is hard to reach.
Through Life-to-Life relationships, we live out the vision of 2 Timothy 2:2: “And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others” (NIV).
We’re also committed to equipping believers with tools and resources—both in person and online—so they can live out Life-to-Life discipleship in their own communities.
About Nathan & Laura Johnson, serving as Collegiate Navigators at USC Columbia:
We are passionate about reaching college students with the Gospel and trusting God to raise up lifelong laborers who live and disciple among the lost. For a young person’s life, college is a defining season. During this season, our students’ identity and values are being shaped as they are discipled by someone or something: their professors, peers/roommates, social media, etc. We come alongside students by walking with them in life and opening up the Word to help them discover the truth of Christ.
Our prayer is that God would transform generations at the University of South Carolina and use their lives to make His name known among every nation, tribe, people, and tongue (Revelation 7:9–10)!
