Missions and Teaching Trips – August & October 2025

July 1, 2025

Dear Friends and Colleagues in Christ,

In my previous newsletter of April 24, I reported on my trips to Ukraine (February 7-21) and to Serbia (March 14-22). God truly blessed these trips which occurred in difficult places in the world.

Today, I am seeking your prayers, and support, for three-3 journeys God has now led me to take.

1. In August, I will be going to Armenia. I will teach a very special seminar, “Christian Leadership in Ministry, Family, Workplace, and Life Settings.” This important seminar is applicable to pastors, church leaders, parents, and all people in general. Other churches will be invited to attend, and later in the week, I will teach Philippians in a remote Christian camp in an Armenian mountain area.

2. In October, I will travel across Africa and minister in two-2 countries: Liberia and Uganda. I will serve as the principal speaker at a Missions Conference in Liberia and teach the Christian leadership seminar to church planters. I will then fly to Uganda and serve as the keynote speaker at an evangelistic crusade.

These are very difficult trips – physically, financially, and emotionally. Yet as shown in the photos from 2023, the rewards are high, as several hundred people trusted Christ. The total costs for these 3 trips is $8,000, with $5,000 pledged to date. Your prayers are essential, and contributions (tax deductible) are welcome. As the Lord leads you to support, please reference “Dr. Erickson Missions’ Trips” in the memo line of your checks, to the Upper Cross Roads Baptist Church, 2717 Greene Road, Baldwin, MD, 21013).

May God bless you and your families and may each of us strive to honor God in all we do. Pray for me on these journeys as I seek to preach the Gospel of Christ and strengthen believers!
