Eric became a Christian in 2014 after being greatly disturbed by evil spirits. After his pastor prayed with him, Eric accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Saviour. At a prayer retreat in 2019, Eric felt called to enter ordained ministry. He has a heart for helping vulnerable people, especially orphans and widows. However, Eric also feels strongly his need to be properly trained to handle the Bible and to teach others. Eric’s predecessor did not invest in training new pastors, so his diocese is about to face a serious shortage of trained clergy.
Eric says, ‘There are many people in my area who would love to join ordained ministry but who are financially incapable. This course will help my leadership and preaching so I can better serve the Lord wherever I am posted within the diocese.’
Eric is married to Atizuyo Sally and they have four children (Tracy aged 10, Livingston aged 8, Ernest aged 4 and Joseph aged 2).
