• Robin and Marcia Hadfield, Pastors

Our Story

December 1970, Batu, Malang, East Java, Indonesia. A turning time for Marcia and me: would we continue to serve the Lord with the Indonesian Missionary Fellowship as single missionaries or would we serve together?

“O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” (Psalm 34:3) was the specific word that sealed the matter. And six months later, we answered that profound question “Do you take…” with “I do”!

Forty years down track, we realize that verse was not only a word for marriage but also for ministry. Whatever we did, we did it together, whether in Indonesia, U.S.A. or New Zealand.

Together, we: taught in a Bible School in Southern Sumatra, conducted camps for children and youth, wrote an Indonesian youth manual, ran a business for international students who came to New Zealand for education, co-labored in pastoral ministry in the States and New Zealand. These contextualized our togetherness.

We were a team, called to be “one flesh” in ministry as well as in marriage.

Since returning to the States in 2004, we have ministered as restoration pastors to churches in transition. Our ‘togetherness’ has been a distinctive feature in that ministry. We model ‘team ministry’ as we help church leadership understand where they’ve been, where they presently are and where they need to go.

Thus, we started a watering can…to refresh, revive, and restore. It is the continuation of God’s call to live life and ministry together. Our years in Christian ministry have given us a passion to help others discover the power and presence of God in their lives.

We look forward to connecting with you and hope to encourage you in the journey God has for your life.

The following are testimonies of people who have been part of our recent ministry journey:

“They are gifted, seasoned multi-national and multi- denominational ministers of the gospel, with strong personalities honed through front-line service, and an unshakable commitment to each other as co-equal and complementary partners in ministry.”

“God has gifted both Robin and Marcia with the gift of wisdom, backed up through their years of varied experiences. Marcia’s wisdom came through frequently at GB meetings, at staff devotions, and when mentoring women one on one. Robin’s wisdom is typically related to specific moments and situations.


…their testimony as faithful servants is impeccable. They exhibited the ability to be effective in difficult situations, while there was no personal gain in the offing for their efforts.”

"Pastor Robin is truly a godly man who, I believe, finds his personal strength through prayer and study. He works hard but exhibits joy and energy in his work; and, he is well prepared for the task at hand.


I always sensed a strong leading of the Holy Spirit in his public worship and found many valuable applications in his sermons and real power in his prayers."

"Robin’s strengths are integrity, commitment and his ability to lead. He surrounds these strengths with a strong prayer life and a desire to be led by the Spirit of God.


He began to teach leadership skills to the elders and staff and their wives and motivated us all to work together. His unique ability to assess the situation and develop an appropriate plan to move forward helped us to form a healthy and dedicated group of leaders and staff which was then able to address our work to serve our church body."
