Nathan Crankfield was born and raised in Harrisburg, PA. He was baptized Lutheran, but entered the Catholic Church at age 13, becoming the first Catholic in his family.

I'm so grateful for every little thing God gave me and still is giving me each day. Even though sometimes I feel there is a lot of work to do, my arms are open to receive what He has for me. I will never give up!

After a few years, the call to priesthood was deeply placed in my heart. I began to pursue what I believed was God's will for me, to serve Him as a holy priest one day!

“Being all for Jesus” as his spouse has expanded and fulfilled my heart and mission as a Maronite Servant of Christ the Light. His Love is more than enough!

I'm an award winning screenwriter and director and I'm interested in making movies that glorify the Lord and/or make the world a better place. That is my mission, my ministry.

During these years his faith grew. But how does a cradle Catholic from the east coast go from losing his faith to becoming on fire for God? Well, it took an amazing woman, a curious mind, and confrontations with evil to break through to the other side.

Chéri has vowed to use her background and personal comeback story to bring people hope and to inspire positive change through business and the beautiful medium of film.

Not a day goes by where I’m not eternally grateful for that friend who walked into my life all those years ago and shared her story with me, because I wouldn’t be here without her.

My time in NYC has been blessed beyond measure. The church is alive here. There are Catholic Creatives doing big and amazing things here. There’s a movement happening.

I believe in spreading the Gospel with a contagious joy that draws others to the source of the Light. Sometimes, this is through the subtle, hidden works of mercy that I perform as a public school teacher; sometimes, it’s through my bold, candid testimony I share as a Catholic evangelist.

One night in prayer, the Lord very clearly said to me: “Tom, I’m calling you to be a priest. Stop running.” So I did. In 2014, I returned to seminary.

As for our personal lives, we are expecting baby no. 2. And our lives are ordered: God, spouse, children. That’s our life. Constantly growing in prayer. Learning charity. Practicing love. It’s truly the best life.

As chaplaincy leader, I strive to be a witness to Christ and facilitate an encounter for staff and students. My 'yes' to the Lord emerged once I realized how much He has done for me and how relentless He is in pursing me!

Shortly after this transformative encounter in the Sacrament of confession, I received a phone call from Franciscan University of Steubenville. Fr. Michael Scanlan, a priest at the University had come across my application and felt that the Lord was calling me to Steubenville.

Do I have it all together? Heck no, not even close. However, the fact that the Lord, silence, and wonderful friends helped bring this to my attention, I am so grateful.

The mercy the Lord has shown to me for all the sins I have committed has turned my “heart of stone into a heart of flesh”. Though I could never make right all the wrongs I have done, He still finds me a son worth loving and a tool worth using.

I believe that my vocation was born in the midst of a very tragic moment of my life. On April 29, 2005 at 15 years of age, in Port-au-Prince Haiti, the reality of my mom being abducted and held for ransom for three days hit me like a ton of bricks.

Mother Teresa’s work with babies is what inspired me to pursue a career in nursing in which I would be working closely with babies. I knew from the moment I started nursing school that I wanted to work in maternity.
