In the summer of 2011, Erica responded to God’s call on her life to be a missionary to Liberia. She partnered with Youth Assured Ministries and opened a drug rehabilitation house while teaching school in Monrovia.

When victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine cry out for help, Samaritan’s Purse is often the first to answer. They specialize in meeting critical needs for victims of war, disaster, famine, and epidemics in the world’s most troubled regions, often working through ministry partners already on the scene of a crisis. In the U.S., they quickly respond when hurricanes, tornadoes, and other storms strike, mobilizing staff and volunteers to provide emergency aid to disaster victims. When these types of crisis occurs we encourage everyone to give generously, and have found that Samaritan’s Purse is one of the best organizations to donate to. Learn more by clicking on their logo.
