Ps. Cristeven
Ps. Cristeven Nigkersen was born again at the age of 19—a profound spiritual turning point that ignited a passion to know the Heavenly Father and make Him known. His call to ministry followed a life-changing encounter with the Lord, leading him to serve generations with burning devotion since his college days in Jakarta, where he completed his undergraduate and master’s degrees.
In 2000, Ps. Cristeven and his wife, Ps. Fung, moved to the United States to work and serve in ministry together. Blessed with three children, the family returned to Indonesia in 2008, fully dedicated to advancing the Father’s vision.
Throughout his ministry, Ps. Cristeven observed a widespread crisis of identity and direction rooted in a lack of experiencing the Father’s love. This birthed a defining mission: to bring the Father’s heart to the nations, guide people back to their true identity as God’s beloved children, and nurture and mature them to fulfill God’s vision through a process called ‘fathering’.
More than a teacher or preacher, Ps. Cristeven is a Father in the faith who doesn’t merely teach the Word from a distance, but truly lives out every message he delivers. By opening his life up close, he gives people a tangible, living picture of what a Word-loving and Word-centered life actually looks like. This lifestyle was continually multiplied into others through ‘fathering’; it then naturally birthed Refathering Nations Community Church (RNCC)—a ministry dedicated to fathering a generation into the love of God and raising them within a healthy, spiritual family of God. Today, he also shares his messages through digital media, reaching viewers worldwide.

Why Refathering
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.
