Eric grew up as the eldest of eight siblings in a family where they enjoyed the privilege of parents who influenced them for Christ. It was around his 19th birthday that the Lord opened his eyes to his dire need for the saving mercies found only in the person and work of Jesus Christ. He was at that time re-born as a child of God who today continues to know forgiveness of and victory over sins, and peace with God in Christ alone. In college, while studying Commerce, the Lord began opening doors of opportunity for Eric to serve His people in the church. He was set apart to be a pastor at Trinity Baptist Church, Nairobi in November 2014.

Together with his wife, Jedidah, they are blessed with four children – Mich, Jamor, Wendo and Kwe. Eric is presently a student of divinity at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary. He can be reached through ericabwao@yahoo.com
