My name is Eric, but my friends call me Elisha. I am from the city of Bo, an economic hub in Sierra Leone. The eldest of nine children, I grew up quickly and developed bold leadership skills which have been necessary to help care for my younger siblings. In the face of great financial hardship, I have seen God provide repeatedly and I have grown to rely on Him for guidance in every way. As a Developing Global Leader, I want to excel in my studies and grow in ministry skills in order to be an example of God’s love in my community. I am studying forestry at Njala University; I love my country and want desperately to see our natural resources be preserved and stewarded for the future good of its citizens.
