Biography:
The camper in Nathan remembers plenty of times when the experience didn’t quite match the brochure, and looking back, that’s a good thing. Over the years, Nathan was a youth leader at camps for kids across the country. In a single week at a camp in Texas, over 100 middle school kids bonded through playing and singing songs in praise of God. Among the lakes and trees, there were plenty of spaces where, as Nathan likes to say, “we connect and bond so quickly, where you really enjoy nature and find the God within us without the outside noise of televisions or computers.”
Okay, so there were a few bugs flying near his face while trying to sleep at night in a cabin with no air conditioning. And there was that time when a kid accidentally stuck a fishing hook completely through his thumb (don’t ask). At a national youth event, Nathan was the Director of the Choir for over 100 youth who sang from their hearts. He remembers looking at the crowd of 1,000 kids, thinking “they all bring different gifts, different needs, different hurts, and all there together to celebrate them. We’re all a child of God.” Nathan has also traveled on several mission trips, like the one to Venezuela while in the eighth grade. The mission? Concrete streets. The work was hard, but thanks to a shared relationship with God, communicating with the locals was magical. After his experience conducting from the pews (see below), but before college, Nathan’s true calling to God and his connection as a disciple of Christ came as a camper at Tall Oaks. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but God’s natural creations. Camp featured plenty of time for singing, worshipping and truly experiencing God. It was here that Nathan heard his calling to music ministry.
