Senior Leaders.
The Wood Family.
Josh and Elise Wood are the Senior Leaders of Zion Church Australia and Zion Church Gold Coast. They have been in ministry for 17 years and started pioneering ZION in 2022 to begin fulfilling many dreams and prophecies spoken over them and their family.
They have both grown up on the Gold Coast and have a heart to see people encounter the goodness of God. They have been married for 18 years and have two sons, Harry & Elijah. They all enjoy adventure, seeing the world and exploring God’s wonderful creation.
Although they both grew up going to church, Josh’s life-changing encounter in 2009 awakened their understanding of Christianity and they started to “read the gospel like it was gospel” (Josh Wood), meaning they began to see that Jesus is the most normal Christian that has walked the earth and we are to follow His example. This propelled Josh into itinerant ministry and he and his family travelled to many nations preaching this good news. Since then the entire family has been a part of many miracles, signs and wonders and have been directly involved in teaching, training and equipping thousands of saints in those nations.
Both Josh and Elise understand the importance of Kingdom family and have developed strong relationship with many ministries around the world. They have chosen to be accountable to Pastor Don Wolabaugh from Harvest Chapel in Abbottstown PA, USA - who is a spiritual father to their family and they have made him the Zion Apostolic Oversight. They are also part of the Bethel Leaders Network and are affiliated with many Kingdom Ministries in the USA and in Australia.
