PLANTING KINGDOM IN THE UK
Hello! I’m Erin, and I have been called to serve God full-time and long-term in England! I have a passion for the English people, especially the marginalized and often forgotten ones. Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey.
I will be serving in the Northeast with a local church, where I will help grow the church and minister to marginalized people in the area.

Why england?
England used to be a spiritual lighthouse in the world. Revivals, movements, and missionaries flowed from this nation. However, a darkness has fallen over the people, and less than 2% of England claims to be evangelical Christians. The churches stand as museums rather than places of worship.
Loneliness is such an issue that the government and nonprofits are seeking to combat it. There is now the Campaign to End Loneliness, which asks questions such as “Have we forgotten how to make friends?” and “Why don’t we talk anymore?”.
The Centre for Social Justice calls the UK the “addiction capital of Europe” because the level of addiction to substances is so staggeringly high.
This is a nation in desperate need of a relationship with Jesus.
Hope for england
Even amidst alarming statistics, government turmoil, and uncertainty regarding their future, there is great hope for the United Kingdom.
New life is being breathed into local, established churches, while new churches are being planted across the nation. Powerful worship-centered movements are happening, especially among the youth. 24-7 prayer began in 1999 and is still happening today. And God is calling missionaries from all over the world to England.
He is the Shepherd that leaves the 99 safely in the fold for the 1 who has wandered off. And when he finds that little lost one, he rejoices more over it than over the ones that never left home. He is actively pursuing the lost still today, and he rejoices over each and every one that returns home.
