The Asia-Pacific Region is pleased to announce Satish Manmothe’s appointment as the new field strategy coordinator for the Australia-New Zealand Field. 

Satish will assume his new role on March 1, 2025. Manmothe replaces Kafoa Muaror, who served in an interim role after the resignation of Roland Hearn. Hearn served in this position for over four years.

Satish has served in various ministry areas for over 32 years. He has been the superintendent of the Australia Southern District since 2016 and the senior pastor of Birrong Church of the Nazarene in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, since 1999.

Satish Manmothe graduated with a Master of Divinity from Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary in 1992. In 2002, he graduated from Australian College of Theology with a Master of Theology degree.

“I am deeply honored to serve as the field strategy coordinator for the ANZ Field,” Manmothe said. “With a deep sense of purpose and a heart for the people of this culturally diverse region, I look forward to working alongside our dedicated leaders and communities. 

“I hope to build deeper connections, empower young and emerging leaders, and nurture vibrant, Christ-centered communities that reflect the love and grace of God. We will continue strengthening the Church’s mission to make Christlike disciples in the nations. I dream of a field where the message of love, hope, healing, and transformation spreads far and wide and where every person, regardless of their background, experiences the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.” 

Satish is married to Manisha, and they have a son, Avidan. Please pray for Satish and the Australia-New Zealand Field in this time of leadership transition.
