WHO IN THE WORLD IS … Nathan George?

Nathan is a freshman at Granby High School. He has been

known to be in the company of Stephanie, Jessica, Ear Line, Brandi

and Autumn. Nathan is a big part of most every mission project as

well as Wednesday and Friday nights. He took a few minutes from

his very busy social life to answer these 10 questions I asked of

him:

1. If you could speak to any public figure past or present, who would it be?

President Obama, because I think he has been very influential.

2. Do you have any brothers or sisters?

I have 2 brothers, Jacob 13, and Jeoffrey 26. I have 5 sisters, Corinne 21, Heather 19,

Stephanie 13, Catherine 11, and Sabrina 6.3. Would you rather sky dive or bungee jump?

I would rather bungee jump because you get to fly back up.

Here’s The Deal !

The church just finished hosting NEST (Norfolk Emergency Shelter Team), where

we feed and house the homeless each night. I want to share an amazing story of some folks

this is a true story.

It was very cold Thursday night, I was waiting for the bus to arrive from downtown

Norfolk carrying the “lucky 50” who qualified through a lottery system, to spend the night in

the church and be fed a warm dinner and breakfast before having to brave the cold for another

day. A young man came through the door with tears in his eyes saying it was too cold outside

and he couldn’t stay outside on another cold night, is there anything we could do for him. It

was a no-brainer to lay out another mat and have him stay the night at the church. After settling

him in I encouraged a couple of the youth to talk with him thinking he may feel more

comfortable with kids his own age, he is 18 years old.

The two youth, who will remain nameless unless they want to share their identity with

you, struck up a conversation with Derick and they were all laughing and carrying on as the

evening progressed. Later on, some of the adults who were made aware of his situation,

(being homeless for the last 8 months) tried to help and gave him some money to be able to

ride a bus to Virginia Beach with the hope of being able to get an identification card of some

kind Derick was thankful When he did not show up the next night the 2 youth were
