Eric and Rebecca were married in 1993 and have been working in youth ministry since 1990 – Eric as a youth pastor and Rebecca opening their home, discipling girls, and mentoring women in ministry.

An ordained pastor, Eric has degrees from Covenant College, Covenant Seminary, and Fuller Theological Seminary where he earned his doctorate in youth, family and culture. He serves as adjunct professor or youth and family ministry for Covenant Seminary and Reformed Theological Seminary. The Larsens desire to ministers equipped to lead the global Church in reaching the emerging generation.

Eric directs the Global Youth & Family Ministry and Institute. This includes recruiting, training, sending, and sustaining youth ministers around the world. Their goal is to develop youth ministry movements but equipping missionaries, national leaders, and indigenous churches to reach the next generation. Along with reaching global youth, the Larsens invest in mission kids bu providing resources, training and care for these Third Culture Kids (TCK) and their parents. Because Eric is a TCK himself and because both he and Rebecca grew up as children of ministry leaders, they understand the unique challenges these families face. Please pray for the Larsens and their vision of “Reaching the Nations and the Next Generation.” The Larsens have 4 daughters. Abigail (2/2/98), Meghan (2/11/00), Natalie (6/11/02) and Emma (8/31/04).
