Erin Hawkinson

Erin first fell in love with Africa when she journeyed to Togo for a summer in college. From there she started pursuing cross-cultural ministry with AIM in 2017 where she moved to Tanzania’s south coast.

There, she partnered with the local church and the team to share the Gospel with the unreached. While in Tanzania, she learned Swahili and spent many days caring for her neighborhood children by reading stories about Jesus, baking cakes, playing games, coloring, and early education.

She then returned to the States in order to get her master’s degree in Cross-Cultural Ministry Education. During that time, she worked on her sending church’s mission board where they worked together on improving support for their global partners including caring for their spiritual wellbeing, meeting their physical and emotional needs, and having more intentional prayer.

Her love for caring for missionaries, so that they can thrive on the field grew immensely and she loves seeing sending churches take active roles in their missionaries lives. While being in the States, Erin has seen a wonderful opportunity to care for the sojourners who have needed to find a new place to call home.

Close to her family’s farm, there is a population of East Africans who she has started to develop relationships with and assist them in their English education and sewing. She has found opportunities to utilize her knowledge of Swahili in bridging the gap and looks forward to sharing God’s love to those who have found a home here in this community. Through this opportunity, she looks forward to partnering with the churches and community members in welcoming, loving, and caring for those African peoples who have made a new home here in the States.
