About Erica

By the Grace of God, I was born into a family that loves the Lord and raised me according to the principles of His Word. At the age of five, I understood that I was a sinner and that Jesus died and rose from the dead to pay the punishment for my sins. With my mom, I prayed and told God that I believed and accepted Jesus Christ to be my Savior. Since that day, I have been through many ups and downs that have deepened my personal relationship with Christ and taught me to rely on His strength to follow His will for my life. At the age of 15, I moved to Brazil with my family where I had the opportunity to be involved in Word of Life camps and traveling with the EMME group, sharing the Gospel through music and drama. These experiences broadened my view of the world and taught me to love people and see them more like Christ does. When I was 19 I studied for a year at the Word of Life Bible Institute where during a Missions Conference I understood God calling me to invest my life in making disciples and I made a commitment to God to serve Him full-time. At that time of my life I was at such a crucial age and I am so thankful for godly professors and leaders who taught me to love God’s Word and study it deeper and helped me to grow spiritually. God has given me a desire to invest my life in discipling young people, as I was once discipled, and teaching them to love and live by God’s Word.
