Eric was born in 1942 in the leafy suburb of Wimbledon, London. He became a full-time evangelist in 1972, leading many missions with the title, ‘Down to Earth’, resulting in thousands of conversions. Over those years, Eric sensed a call to ordained ministry and in 1988, entered Trinity College, Bristol. He began parish ministry in January 1993 at St Lawrence, Kirkdale in inner city Liverpool. Eric refers to Kirkdale as “the place where I re-learnt the power of the Gospel.” From May 1996 to December 2012, Eric was vicar of St Luke’s Church, Maidstone, a thriving, charismatic community-driven church with a parish exceeding over 10,000 people. While at St. Luke’s, Eric founded People Without Limits, the company behind the Detling Summer Celebration.
