Hi everyone, 

I am Nate Harding. I am from Baltimore, MD and I am a sophomore at the United States Naval Academy. I am studying weapons and robotics engineering and am really enjoying it. I am also blessed to have an awesome family with amazing parents and great siblings. I enjoy watching and playing soccer and football, woodworking, cooking food with lots of hot sauce and butter, and singing really anywhere. Most importantly, I have a love for Jesus and a desire to glorify Him. My relationship with Jesus started when I was 8 years old at a summer camp led by my church. Since then, I have continued to grow in my relationship with God and I believe that this gap year mission trip is the next step for me in my relationship with Him. I am going to be spending nine months in Guatemala, South Africa, Cambodia, and Thailand serving God and showing His love to the nations. I am so excited for this opportunity and I look forward to all that God has in store for me in the upcoming year.
