God Has a Plan!

I am Nicholas Royer, AGWM Missionary Associate with Network211, reaching people in nations around the world who are desperately seeking and searching to fill the void in their being.

I was born 19 ½ years AFTER my brother, with no siblings in between. I was always “the miracle” my parents had prayed for because a doctor at Dartmouth had told my mom that she would very likely never have another child and my brother was most likely a miracle, also.

My parents are pastors and are very missions oriented. When I was about 5 years old, a missionary to Congo came to our church and 5-year-old me wanted to become a missionary to Congo. I felt the same desire as missionary after missionary shared with our churches. However, it never occurred to me that I could actually go. I never felt adequate enough.

When I was a teenager, my parents and I went as missionary associates to Tonga, in the South Pacific. I was able to use my photography and video skills while there. When we returned to the US, I started college, planning to become an engineer. I consistently got A’s through college… except in the calculus class I absolutely couldn’t skip. I felt like God was closing the door on engineering, so I transitioned to history as my major. I wrote my thesis on the contributions of Protestant medical missionaries to China in the 1800’s. Even though I was in a very liberal university, I got an A on the thesis, graduating Magna Cum Laude with my BA in history.

During that time, however, I was struggling with a lot of stress and pressure to keep my grades up at the top of my class. I always had a huge deadline looming. I was actually on my way to school one day, literally crying, and asking God to help me survive. That is when the Holy Spirit got involved. I did not hear him audibly say anything to me, but I suddenly knew that I wanted to give my whole life to Him. I was already saved, but this time I told Him I would do whatever He wanted me to do, and go wherever He wanted me to go, no matter what the cost. I felt like God was calling me to media missions and then to Network211.

I am now a content producer for Network211, editing and producing videos to reach individuals around the world. There are 14,000 people a day, lost and searching the internet for help, finding our site. We then link them to a believer in their area and connect them with a church where they can be led further in knowing Jesus. My life is a testimony of the goodness of God and His amazing plans. He is able to lead us. He opens and closes doors to fulfill His plan for our lives.
