Greetings
Hello everyone,
As you can see my name is Nate and here is my testimony:
I have been attending church since before I was born (my mother was the church organist and pianist ). I am blessed to have a Christian heritage back 4 generations on both my father and mother's sides. My parents were on staff at the Christian school that our church funded and they were diligent in keeping us immersed in a Christian environment. Whenever the church doors were open, we were there, including AWANA kids club on Monday nights.
I accepted Christ at the age of 5 or 6 after my mother described the Gospel using the wordless book, where each page has a scripture verse to go along with the color. At the age of 14, I followed Christ in water baptism and that is when I began to grow more in my Christian walk. Though I went through a period of rebellion in high school (dating an unsaved cheerleader from the local high school and other foolishness), the Lord brought me back to fellowship with Himself. I was led to attend Bible college for 2 years and earned my Associate's degree in practical theology and cross-cultural ministry. It was while attending college that the Lord brought me my bride and we will be married 6 years this coming Sunday! The Lord has also blessed us with 2 children who are growing up very fast. I am currently unemployed, but the Lord has provided and I continue to look forward to His provision.

New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI. I attended their 1st tier of training, so to speak. The 2nd and 3rd phases are for those called to foreign missions. At this point, I am not called beyond these shores, but I have a passion for the truth and enjoy sharing my faith with those around me when I get the opportunity.

RE: Greetings
Welcome, Nate. I pray that God will guide you and your family into that perfect place that He has prepared for you in His Kingdom. Keep your heart in His Word and your life in His Will and in His time He will direct you. (Proverbs 3)
By the way, what is your location? What type of work are you seeking?
In the Service of the KING,
Brother Tim Keyes (Proverbs 3:5-6)
When I fully rely upon God, I find that He is fully reliable.

RE: Greetings
Right now we are living in the land of Packers and cheese, WI. I have been in the banking industry for almost 8 years, but I do have some manufacturing experience so I'm not limiting myself to only banking in my search. There are several opportunities which I applied to this week that seem to be promising. Thanks for the encouragement!
