Connecting People to Purpose
Who We Are
My name is John W. Nichols, and I am an author and missionary. I want to help people see how Jesus loves them, chooses them, restores them, and has a purpose for their lives.
You are the “you” in God and you and me. The purpose of this site is to encourage and equip people like yourself to follow in Jesus’s footsteps. With God’s help—we can change the world.
What We Do
Books & Online Content
In 2016 God told me, “Write your book. I’m going to make you a writer.” Since then I have published five books and three workbooks (and counting). I always make at least one of these books free. You can find out more about them as well as links to purchase here.
Free Resources to Build You Up
My heart is to get out the message God has given me to as many people as possible. This is why I’m thankful to have given away over 80,000 books in 55 countries. I’ve put together several downloadable resources I hope will bless you. Check them out here.
Street & Itinerate Ministry
My family is currently serving as long-term missionaries in Rome. Part of this involves evangelism and discipleship, and we also love to bless and build up the Church—whether here in Europe, back home in the States, or wherever the Lord takes us. See more here.

The Need Is Great, But God Is Greater
Whatever weight you’re carrying you can come boldly to the King of kings’ throne of grace. Whether a burden of sickness, or lack, or a silently carried weight you’d never tell a soul, He knows and cares. Sometimes we fall for a lie, believing He’s unwilling to help. But we have to trust His Word and His character more than our circumstances and the whispers of the enemy.
Then I Saw Another Wonder

Leap of Faith
When Jesus calls you to take a leap of faith, it can be daunting. But I promise you, He will show himself strong on your behalf.
God is Love
The Lord is love. His kindness is beyond our understanding. I spent so many years thinking I would never be able to measure up to some sort of “churchy” ideal, thinking of that as a picture of what God wanted me to be. I was pretty far from it in our very small...
