Nathanael Gregoriev

Vernacular Media Consultant

Nathanael was born in South Korea. At the age of nine months he was adopted by a family in the USA. His parents became missionaries with Wycliffe Bible Translators when he was nine and they moved all over the US, finally serving in Colombia, South America.

After leaving home he served with Teen Missions International, Inc for six years. Darla and Nathanael met at Teen Missions.

After years of friendship Darla and Nathanael married on Dec. 31, 2006. They wanted time to focus on their marriage so they resigned from Teen Missions and took secular jobs. Though they were busy, they felt a restlessness.  They recognized that God had a call on their lives and that He wanted them to serve Him more.

After one year of marriage and much prayer God opened the doors to go back into missions.  He led them to Wycliffe Bible Translators and the need of Vernacular Media worldwide.

Nathanael and Darla joined Wycliffe Bible Translators December 2007. They have been serving as Vernacular media specialists in Cameroon, Central Africa since August 2010.

Nathanael became a Vernacular Media Domain Consultant March 2018.
