 Gods People:

I am 40 years old and have been married to my wife, Cindy, for 13 wonderful years.  We have two children, Noah and Isaac.  My wife is a tremendous blessing, support and help in my ministry and life.  She is very active currently at our church and truly has the gift of compassion.  She is a constant reminder to me of God’s unconditional love because she lives it every day of her life. 

God has given me a burden and a passion for people.  I feel He has led me down this path in order to make a difference for His Kingdom.  My heart breaks when I see people searching for hope and purpose in all the wrong places so my desire is to share with them the Truth in a way in which they can relate and understand. I can truly identify with Paul as his heart breaks for his people that don’t know Jesus in Romans 9.

His Bondservant,

Rev. Eric Trawick
