First Post as Missionaries!

Hello friends,

This blog will follow the adventures of Mark and Danielle Erickson as they embark on the life that God has called them to. This blog is mainly for our family and friends who want to follow us on our missionary journey. We are so grateful for all the support you've blessed us with and for your continued praying hearts. We love you dearly and cannot express the joy we have for you!


My husband and I are Chi Alpha college missionaries at North Dakota State University. Well at the moment it's only Mark as I am called to the workforce as Partner Relations for a computer software company. It's an incredible job with incredible (nerdy) people! Everyday I'm reminded of how blessed our family is that I have this job, because it is without a doubt from God. I am being shaped and molded as I face new challenges and gain new skills everyday! I'm also honored to be apart of the fan team where I get to pour into and love on a few of our current small group girls.

Mark is the missionary in training. He will be under the authority of Pastor Brad Lewis this 2013-2014 school year. There he will learn all the ins and outs of becoming a pastor and a college missionary. We are BEYOND excited for all the growth and challenges we will face this coming year.

We hold on to the truth that if God brings us to it, He will bring us through it.

Curious about Chi Alpha? Who are we? Why do we love Jesus so much? Just send us your questions at mark.erickson.2@gmail.com and we'd love your feedback!
