Nathan was blessed to grow up knowing God.

I remember the moment when I received the Holy Spirit like it was yesterday. I was only 9 years old, but I knew it was necessary to receive the Holy Spirit. I was praying with the pastor and two of my friends when I started to speak in tongues. I got baptized that same day.

As I grew up, there were times when I thought I was missing out (drinking, partying, etc.), but I had a lightbulb moment when my aunt almost died. I realized how quickly you can die, and I wanted to stay right with the Lord. From that moment, I knew my salvation was between me and God. After that, I started praying and reading the Bible every day.

God protected me when I was rear-ended by a car when traffic suddenly stopped on the highway. Other than some soreness in my neck, I had no injuries at all. The doctor could not believe I didn’t need to go to the hospital.
