On February 3rd, 1997 I was born into this world in Greenville, South Carolina. At that time I wasn’t officially Joseph Nichols, I was just Joseph. About two weeks later my parents, John and Cheryl Nichols adopted me and I became the youngest of 5 children and officially became Joseph Nichols. Since then it has been a blessing to learn and grow from my parents because of their love for the Lord, values and leadership. Growing up with 4 older siblings was a major blessing and I have learned many valuable life lessons from them. Being the youngest at times is tough but I definitely love being my mom’s ” baby”.  At a young age the Lord brought me to himself and I became a follower of Christ. My desire is to live for Him. Being a Christian in this world is not easy but I recently developed a phrase” Heaven is home, Earth is my mission field for the Lord”.
