Nic and his wife Rachael live in Central, PA with their three children, Christian, Forrest and Leila.  In addition to their itinerate ministry they are currently serving at First UMC in Mercersburg, PA as Youth Pastors and Worship Leaders.

When Nic was 13 years old, God called him into ministry, and when he was 15 he attended an Aldersgate Life in The Spirit Conference where Linda Gregorino (a woman gifted in the prophetic) gave him a small wrench and spoke a prophetic word over his life that "God would use Nic to restore and to build The Church."  It wasn't until later that he would realize the depth and reality of that word.  Later that year Nic went to the Freshwind Youth Conference '98 in Toronto and witnessed, and received, the power and love of God like he had never experienced before.

Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those rejoice who seek and require the Lord, as their indispensable necessity. Seek, inquire of and for the Lord, and crave Him and His strength; seek and require His face and His presence evermore."

This was the beginning of an intense season of craving the Lord, as an indispensable necessity.  "To spin off the old Saturday Night Live skit 'I had a fever, and the only prescription was more of His love!  More of you Lord, more of You!", Nic says (it's way better than any old cow bell anyway).  During these years, Nic and Rachael were not leading worship often, so these times of worship were spent in their living room, in the car, out on the deck, etc. These were quiet times alone with the Lord, and it was in these times of pressing in to the heart of God that He began to reveal the apostolic calling that He had placed on their lives.  Nic began to write down the prayers and things that he was singing to the Lord in the inner chambers.  Songs like "Restore Me", "More of You", "Crying Out" and "First Dance" were birthed out of this season.

My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

Also true to the apostolic calling Nic and Rachael have a burning heart for intercession.  The two words that best describe their worship is intimacy and warfare, two key elements to intercession.  "We're called to be lovers of God, and warriors of God.  But you can't be a good warrior of God, without being madly in love with Him", Nic says.  God has recently brought them into a season of intense spiritual warfare in worship.  "It's actually pretty funny, one minute we'll be singing 'we love you Jesus, take us away with You, to Your chambers'", he says, "and the next minute we're singing 'in Jesus name we're gonna kick the devil in the butt and take back what was stolen from our God'".  2 Chronicles 7:13-14 has been the heartcry for this move of God in their lives;

When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

That passage gives a blueprint for opening up the heavens and bringing healing and restoration to a church, a city, a region, a nation, etc.  If we will seek his face, a term of intimacy, and pray, meaning intercession and warring for "our land", than He'll rain down forgiveness and healing.  Through this verse God birthed the song "Anthem" through Nic, and it has been used as a tool for intercession in worship in many different venues.

Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature…And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

They don't "seek the signs", but they do seek the Master of the signs, and as The Word states above, the signs accompany those who believe!  Or to quote John Crowder, "we do not preach a gospel of signs and wonders, we preach a gospel of Christ and Him crucified- the signs and wonders merely follow this message". Both Nic and Rachael operate in the prophetic word, in song, spoken and written word.  God often places a healing anointing on Rachael and speaks detailed words for healing through her.  They're humbled by the fact that God has used them to heal and restore countless lives in the name of Jesus, both in one-on-one ministry and through larger events.  They have had the Wind of the Spirit blow through the room often as they lead worship, and several people who have purchased their first album have shared testimony of the Wind blowing in their house while playing the CD.  They also regularly have angelic visitations, as do their children, as they worship in the worship room in their house.  To them, all of these things are simply confirmation that they are chasing after, and connecting with, the heart of God.  More Lord!
