Jay and Katrina Erickson didn’t move to Africa and within four months change the world by gallantly giving their lives.
They changed lives, Lance Erickson (Jay’s younger brother) said, because they lived out God’s greatest commandments — they loved the Lord with all their hearts and truly loved their neighbors as themselves (Matt. 22: 37-39).

A memorial service for Jay and Katrina Erickson will be held Sunday at 10:30 a.m. at Hillyard Baptist Church, 2121 E. Wabash.

The Spokane coupled died June 2 while serving as missionaries in Zambia.

On April 20 the Erickson’s wrote a blog post together about their family’s new life in Zambia.

Jay, Katrina and their two young children moved there from Spokane earlier this year to serve as missionaries after Jay was asked to serve as a pilot for Chitokoloki Mission Hospital.
