Pastor | Evangelist

Taking the full Gospel of the Kingdom to the world in the demonstrated, supernatural power of our Lord Jesus Christ, and showing pastors how to do the same. Born into a long heritage of ministers dating in the family Bible back to the 1400s, Pastor Nathan Smalley felt the call of The Lord all of his life. But at the age of eight, Pastor Nathan knew without a doubt that one da

y The Lord would use him when he experienced a visitation from the Holy Spirit for the first time. By age 20, he was ministering The Gospel in The Philippines in villages that had never before heard the name "Jesus" . Nathan obeyed a call from The Lord to found a home church in February 1986, and Port Lavaca Christian Fellowship was born. Port Lavaca Christian Center, as it has been called for more than 25 years, is located in Port Lavaca, Texas, near the Gulf of Mexico. It is primarily a ministry "outpost" for missions, as most efforts are focused on what The Lord is doing abroad in the lives of the poor, needy and broken. Nathan has traveled extensively in his 35+ years in ministry, and the past 11 years has concentrated most mission efforts in Mexico. Pastor Nathan and our ministry team continue to follow that original call to preach the Gospel to the poor...to "go to the highways, byways and hedges" to have a burden to share Jesus with the world, exercising the gift of prophecy to 1) edify the church and 2) call sinners to repentance, as 1 Corinthians 14 instructs. We believe we aren't meant to die on our comfortable church chairs, to achieve a social status or to attain wealth or position, but rather to GO, as Matthew 16 instructs us to do. The pure, unadulterated WORD is preached, and we pray the seed lands on good soil (Matt 13), bear fruit, and that the fruit will remain (John 15:16). Our numbers are few, our message of the Gospel is simple--yet tough--and are hearts follow just one voice--the voice of the Shepherd (John 10:27). and abroad contact Pastor Nathan because they need a word from The Lord, and he is happy to pray with you. If you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus, contact us today. For more information on foreign missions, please message us. Port Lavaca Christian Center service hours:

Today, we are a grateful people, and we honor all who gave the ultimate sacrifice so that we can have freedom.

In no other country will a citizen offer their lives up to save strangers who don’t even live in their country.

In no other country do men and women sacrifice themselves for no other reason than the duty to serve in this way. To free others.

Why does the American soldier do this?

Because our country was founded on this truth:

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who did that for us, and there is no greater love, no greater honor, than to offer up ourselves as a living sacrifice so that others can experience freedom. He did. So we do also.

May God shed His grace on thee. 🇺🇸

Yesterday was Pentecost Sunday. 🔥

50 days after Jesus’ resurrection.

A jubilee.

A chance to wait for and receive the PROMISE of the Holy Ghost.

God IN us.

How do we really know the Holy Spirit is IN us, according to the Word of God? Over this there has been much debate.

But the Word is clear on it.

Having the Spirit living in us means that we have agape LOVE. The “agape” word introduced by the Lord Jesus for the first time in John 13:34.

Here’s the catch: you cannot conjure up this kind of love — the love so powerful and pure that it loves your enemies as they’re stoning you — on your own.

You simply cannot do it.

Only the Holy Spirit can do it while living in you and operating through you.

And that, according to every verse qualifier for having the Spirit abiding in us, is the only evidence that matters.

Spiritual gifts are an attribute of God. They matter. And they should be there.

But, according to the Word of God, our gifts are irrelevant if we do not have the fruit of the Spirit — agape love — permeating in our lives.

That’s the qualifier of a man or woman having their own personal Pentecost.

Not fame. Not spiritual gifts. Not enticing words.

Love. 🔥

Have you been transformed?

Were you filled with an inexplicable love for your enemies? Do you give generously, forgive quickly, humble yourself before others, and pray for those who mistreat you? Or do you still struggle with the flesh in these areas?

Watch the livestream on our Nathan Smalley Ministries page to learn how you can receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and operate not only in your gifts, but in THE gift, which is Him: agape love. Link in bio.
