So here it is my final blog of my WR from the field!

(I will be posting more, stories from my race when I get back home and situated)

I began this epic journey in October of 2011 in Gainesville GA

Since then I have been to the countries of

Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Romania, Ukraine, Tanzania, Kenya, S.Sudan,Thailand, Cambodia, and Malaysia!

God has supplied over $15,500 in support

I have seen people turn to Jesus, people healed, fed the hungry, loved the loveless, built homes, painted walls, washed strangers clothes as a ministry, taught english to hundreds of children, been a part of musical evangelism, had my eyes opened to so much of my own heart issues, and found my true identity in him.

I am on the verge of tears as I write this blog, the ups and downs of all that this past year has held, I feel overwhelmed by all that God has done in my life. It humbles me beyond any other experience I have ever had in my life.

I can not thank you, my supporters enough for your support and love, your prayers and encouragement. Your encouragment if thats with money, prayer, or simply 'I believe in what God is doing in you Nathan.' I truly believe that through him all things are possible now!

I believe that I can take the gospel to the nations, that I could work a office job for the next 30 years, that I can go on tour and my music will reach thousands, that I can plant a church in England that will change that Nation, that I will be a good husband and father, and that I will be able to support other missionaries for the rest of my life. I believe that what ever He calls me into in my life for the future it is possible, and my identity rests in Him and Him alone. It rests in nothing and no one else.

I can not thank my amazing squad D SQAUD enough! for being my family this past year, I have made friendships that will last a lifetime this past year. I have cried with these people, laid on kitchen floors in Thailand and laughed my face off, I have been challenged, I have been sharpened and called up into manhood and my sonship. These people are my family for today and the rest of my life! I will never forget them and their love for me.

I want to thank all my contacts on my race all the people, who we served under. The people all across the globe that are serving the kingdom in huge ways. That are running forward without restraint, that are not looking backward and changeing their nations where they have been called. They have said things that will stick with me for the rest of my life. I have seen them honor their wives, honor their community, and the people who they serve so well.

Lastly I want to thank my heavenly father Jesus Christ. The song your currently listening to reminds me of Him, and how He has waited my whole life for me to be with Him. This year has brought me into a deeper relationship with Him, I have seen Him in a African child's face that is so happy because he gets to push a office chair wheel around on a stick for his toy all day. I have seen Him in Cristi my contact from Romania with his love for every single person around him. I have seen Him in the tear filled broknes of my teammates faces, I have seen Him in a street kid high on paint thinner, and in a four year old Thai girls face that was saved from sex slavery. This year I have seen Him and He has seen me.
