Josh Irving

Auckland Team Leader

Josh got involved with TSCF on his first day at uni, when a student asked if he’d ever read the Gospel of Luke. In truth, he hadn’t – but doing so with other students during his first semester was hugely significant in Josh committing to follow Jesus.

After six years working as a secondary-school teacher (in NZ as well as Singapore), Josh re-trained for vocational Christian ministry. He completed three years of theological and pastoral formation through Carey Baptist College (Auckland). In 2021, Josh sensed God’s hand in leading him back to student mission. 

Josh is married to Kate, who has previously served as a TSCF student leader, intern, and staff member herself. Josh and Kate are blessed with two young children, Eliana and Miles.

Josh enjoys sport and reading, and he cannot bring himself to give up his collection of 300+ CDs…
