Bruce Fraser

Bruce Fraser is a Software Architect, lay Pastor, husband, and father. He is also the Leadership Development Director for Thinking Matters. Bruce has had the opportunity to meet many great people across Canterbury and New Zealand in this role. He is available to speak primarily in Christchurch but is also willing to travel elsewhere as needed.

Bruce spent several years learning apologetics from friends Mike Licona, Nabeel Qureshi, David Wood, and Mary Jo Sharp, while living in the U.S. He learned much about the arguments and demeanor that best communicate the Great News of Jesus to those hostile to Christianity, presenting the truth of Jesus in a way that is gentle and respects their intellect.

Bruce spent most of his life as a Software Engineer until a series of unexpected life events propelled him to leave the U.S. for missions work in Kenya. There he met and married his Kiwi wife Lee. A year later, they moved to New Zealand. Bruce and Lee have two primary school boys who love maths and science. They’re passionate about seeing people love God and loving others well, inside and outside the church.
