Eric Baliantz: Fulfillment Through Helping Those in Need
Playback speed
Eric Baliantz: Volunteer MarinerDuring some downtime as a mariner, Eric Baliantz decided to volunteer with Mercy Ships with motives different than most — he simply wanted to return to Madagascar. Eric had been sailing on ships since he was 19 years old but had never encountered a crew quite like the Africa Mercy crew. Eric’s eyes were opened to something that he had been searching for his whole life and this discovery caused him to return time and again to this impactful community.In this episode, Eric shares how his life was radically changed through Mercy Ships. He talks about the struggle to find purpose and fulfillment through his thrill-seeking lifestyle and how volunteer work gave him something he’d always been looking for. As Eric speaks from the heart, we encourage you to examine your life and consider the place where your purpose can be fulfilled.For more information about Mercy Ships, go to: mercyships.org Follow us on Instagram: New Mercies Podcast
