Erica was born and raised in New York State. Her parents got saved when she was seven, and a year later she gave her heart and her life to Christ. At a young age she felt a call to be a missionary, but she thought it was just “some crazy dream.” Erica loved the Lord and had various ministry opportunities as a teenager. Still, she went through a period of rebellion and thought the Lord could never use her again. The Lord, however, was not limited by her failures. His grace was sufficient to restore her life back to Him.
