Chad and Wendy Hawley, the visionary couple behind the NEXUS Mountain Network, have been happily married for 25 years, raising four wonderful children together. While they serve as the founders, NEXUS thrives on collaboration. Chad's primary mountain is Business, with Religion as his secondary focus, while Wendy's primary mountain is Business, and Family stands as her secondary pillar. Both Chad and Wendy attended Bible college early in their marriage, were ordained by Lonnie Rex in 2017, mentored by Lance and Annabelle Wallnau, and dedicated years to church leadership. They first crossed paths at Western Michigan University, and Chad furthered his education by earning a Master's in Business Administration from Wayne State University.
The idea for the NEXUS Mountain Network came from the Lord, to Chad, when he was fighting life threatening cancer in 2019. Chad asked the Lord why he was created in order to set his attention on the Lord’s promise rather than death. As a result, Chad took the idea the Lord gave him about the network and made a two-minute promotional video about his future and submitted it to a few people to agree with him on God’s future for his life. Through a series of miraculous events, Chad was completely cleared of cancer instead of chemotherapy, radiation, and possible death. In 2022, through a series of prophetic signs the Lord opened the door to move forward with the idea of the network.
