Ericka Gates
Board Member
Ericka is the interim Executive Director of Milk and Honey Acres in North Carolina. "Milk & Honey Acres was truly a vision birthed by God to intersect the Gospel, Hospitality, and Reconnection, some of my favorite things!"
Ericka married Jason, her high school sweetheart, in 2008. They are currently raising and homeschooling their four fun kids on the farmland.
Ericka has worked in many roles with children and families with special needs and has a great passion for individuals with Autism. Late in college, Ericka came to Christ. In 2014, Ericka and Jason joined staff with Cru and began serving with FamilyLife as stateside missionaries in Arkansas, Florida, and North Carolina.
Ericka enjoys almost anything outside in the sun; especially nature walks while talking to Jesus, gardening, and studying nature. She loves cooking homegrown nutritious food for her family and all the people who often find themselves around her table.
