Jeff & Leah Erickson
We are excited to have Jeff & Leah not only cooking for us this year but sharing with both the guys and girls during the break out sessions. We had hoped to have them and was thrilled when God opened the door. They bring to the table not only good food but insight into God’s design for relationships and how we are to interact with one another as the body of Christ as both men and women who have been created by God to have fellowship with one another. Jeff is a music teacher at a local school. He and Leah live in Minneapolis, MN.
