A Man Guided by Faith

A Message to the People
Erick is urging the residents of Kwabwai to believe in a better future. He quotes Isaiah 41:10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
He asks the people to trust in his vision and promises to work tirelessly for them if given the opportunity.
“This is our time to rise as a ward. I am ready to serve, and with your support, we will bring real change,” Erick said.
