Eric Swatson, the new development assistant with a focus on social media at Haven of Rest, shared his journey to the mission and his faith. Growing up in Akron, he was aware of Haven of Rest but didn't fully understand their work until a friend, Landon, introduced him. A spontaneous conversation with Doctor Yvonne Brake led Eric to pursue a role in the development office, focusing on sharing the overarching perspective of Haven of Rest as a rescue mission rather than just a homeless shelter. Eric's social media strategy, currently in the strategizing phase, involves weekly themed content rotation. Eric accepted Christ in after a difficult period that included graduating high school, losing his Air Force eligibility, a breakup, and his father's death. What excites him most about Haven of Rest is its counter-cultural nature of selflessness, grace, and compassion and the opportunity to share the gospel with the disenfranchised and displaced. He asks listeners to pray that he can continue to honor the Lord, especially for the fruits of the Spirit.
