An Interview with

Nick Herod



What quality/trait do you admire most: 

People who love to serve, who just lay it all down at the alter, who seeks to add value to others and seeks to encourage and show the importance of team work.


Annoyances: 

Two defendant ones for me are, people with really poor commutation skills, that take days, or don't answer at all the simple questions. in the work place when management does not help its employees, or really does not respect the role given to them. basically just chooses to be lazy and not work.


Most traumatic experience: 

It was the move here from Africa. I grew up in Africa and so at the time it was the only home I knew of, so when we moved, it really shook my world up a lot. for several months I had a really hard time connecting with others, because I was so depressed and would often sit alone. It devastated me to have to come to the realization that I would not be returning to Africa for a very long time.


Favourite Website: 

in the past I would name a heavy load of websites, but now, I would say Eastgate website. I know that sounds like a Jesus answer, but I really don't get on a lot of websites that much.


Some of your biggest mistakes: 

Two I would say, but are turned into blessing for the Lord. 1. being for a season I stop going to church which led to me for a season becoming a slave and idol worshiper of movies and 2. moving in with three guys who did not follow the Lord, which allowed me to drop my guard and for another season along with the Idol worshiping, I become an Adultery and addicted to some dark things. Praise be to Jesus He redeemed me and got me out of those two mistakes and now worship Him alone and my heart pure for the Lord


Favourite vacation spot: 

Thanksgiving with my Dad's side of the family in Arkansas


Dream Job: 

For the longest time it has been working at Treetop Adventure Park, because of the nature, the people, the exercise I would get during working there, the element of being able to put into practice two of my spiritual gifts, serving and encouraging. Right now, I don't know, two things right now that I love is just serving the body and meeting to fellowship with different people in the body and talk about Jesus


Favourite TV Shows, Books or Movies: 

Me and my mom really like watching NCIS Los Angeles. 


Pastimes: 

Just hanging out with friends from High School and going on a lot of little adventures


Music: 

I really like Amanda Cook. Lecrae, Skillet, Hill song, all the Bethel people my new favorite right now is "In the Sanctuary by, Kurt Carr. 


Favourite Food: 

Food wise would have to be Mexican food and Pizza
