The Paine Family

Hello Everyone,

My name is Nathaniel James Paine and I am 19 years old. I have currently finished up high school, and am keeping busy with the different responsibilities here at the IBLP Headquarters. I have finished my work with Advance America, and I will not be working with them this next year due to the burden God has laid on my heart for prison ministry. I am trusting the Lord for future direction and for further guidance as to where He could use me in the present months to come. The Lord has clearly laid on my heart a burden and a desire to work with prison inmates and to see them gain spiritual freedom in their lives, so I am waiting on God to show me how He desires me to fulfill this calling on my life. The scripture the Lord has given me for this direction is found in Isaiah 61:1-3,

” The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. “

I believe the Lord’s calling on my life is to fulfill these verses and in so doing bring honor and glory to His name!
