Every now and then a man child is born who has showed up on the planet to authenticate the pattern of things in Heaven.

His father would appropriately call his name Dathan, which is translated to mean: welled, or belonging to a fountain. Dathan Thigpen is indeed a well and fountain of worship from which flows living water- the very presence of God! Dathan began singing at a young age.
