Nate was born and raised on the mission field in Senegal, West Africa. At the age of 16, he saw the need to invest his life in the abused, neglected, and abandoned children of this world. After graduating from North Greenville University with a degree in Business and Broadcasting, he headed to the Middle East to begin pioneer work among this demographic of children. In 2006, he founded ROCK International, a non-profit organization seeking to be the "lap of Jesus" (as demonstrated in Mark 9:36-37) for children trapped in situations of crisis.
After a decade of work in North Africa and the Middle East, Nate married Priyanka, and God gave them a daughter, Haven Rahab. Together, their passion is to see the unreached ethnic groups hear and experience the love of Jesus and to see teams mobilized for work among the unreached. The Lord has given them direction to pioneer a new work in Bangladesh for which they are presently building a team.
Nate is the author of What If Jesus Meant What He Said along with Prosper: Enjoying Intimacy with God. His passion and heart to see today's youth be unconditional followers of Jesus Christ also led him to create Bible study resources www.IntoYourBible.org and the Unfiltered podcast. Nate is commended from Overbrook Gospel Chapel in Greenville, South Carolina, while Priyanka's original commendation is from Houston Brethren Assembly in Houston, Texas.
