The StoryField #48: The one with Eric Swithin about Help for the Fatherless
Eric was puking up blood (from all the drug/alcohol use) for three days and laying on his bathroom floor when Jesus showed on the scene. He was as broken as it gets.
He went on to become a high-level combat Marine and fought in the Iraq War.
Jesus showed up powerfully again to Eric during a moment of complete misery while working in the business world.
Then, a prophetic word landed Eric in seminary.
Now, he is the founder and leader of The Alliance to End the Fatherless Epidemic, a large-scale ministry to end the fatherless epidemic and Outdoor Adventures, a nonprofit created to end fatherlessness through mentorship.
Check out The Fatherless Epidemic Documentary 2023 to understand what Eric and his team are working to eradicate.
Eric understands two verses well:
Psalm 34:18: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit”.
James 1.27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world”.
