The gig...

Well i'm a speaker guy. The offical title is "evangelist" but I perfer to call myself a "speaker / teacher / pro hang-out guy" it better describes who i am and what i do. My website is Erik Willits.com, you can find out more about me there. I love ministry, i love sharing with with students the way of Jesus and the things i am learning about being on that way. Send me a message, i'll tell you more!

More abouts...

Well I'll start with the most interesting things -- I'm a pretzel (Freeport pretzels, best high school mascot ever or something) - My first name hasn't always been Erik (you'll have to ask) I grew up as an only child but then i found out I have four sisters when I was about 24. I recently met one of my 4 sisters, so now i am a brother, very cool. I have lived in lots of cities, about 5 states and 2 cars in the last few years but California is home for now but hopefully Nashville (again) sooner than later. I love to travel, watch movies, listen to music (all kinds but I could do without country), I'm into most sports; I play basketball, football, HUGE disk golf fan, pretty much anything, I played college tennis, so i love that. My favorite thing to do is speak/preach (sometimes I can't believe I get paid for it, life is great) I consider myself a professional hanger outer, I can hang out with the best of them... Lots of other stuff, bla bla bla... check out my website (www.erikwillits.com) for my "official" bio or just e-mail me. PEACE

Reflections from a camp... 4 days ago

It's the week after camp and I am still thinking and reflecting. In the middle of what has been a couple of the hardest months of my life there was a camp, and that camp was amazing. I pretty sure God knew my circumstances and understood my heart and mind and because of ma...
