Nathan Shires was born and raised a Seventh-day Adventist, but drifted away from God and enjoyed an "if it feels good, do it" lifestyle for awhile. But God led him to surrender himself fully when he was in the jungles of Guyana in South America. In 2009, Nathan returned to the States and became involved with a ministry called Messiah's Mansion, which is a life-size model of the sanctuary. He enjoys teaching others about Jesus and His heavenly ministry.
