The Dream In Your Heart

Eric Rolland is using the promises in God's Word to achieve his dream. Although 34 years old, which is older than most PGA rookies, Eric is preparing himself to attend PGA Tour Qualifying School this fall.

“Pastor Mac has taught us to follow the dream in your heart”, Eric said, “so I am preparing myself physically, mentally and spiritually to achieve my life’s ambition to be a professional on the PGA Tour.”

Eric attends and is very active in ministry at Living Word Christian Center. In addition to ushering and street witnessing with Pastor Nick Kinn, he volunteers to teach swing fundamentals to the Crest View Elementary School junior golf team while incorporating life principles of determination and patience.

Eric’s accomplishments are admirable. He placed in the top ten at the 2008 Tapemark Charity Golf Tournament in South St. Paul and eleventh in the 2008 Minnesota State Open Golf Tournament. Eric hones his game through practice and by competing in local professional tournaments. He was "Man of theYear" for the Chippewa Valley Golf Association. Last weekend he won the event at St. Croix National Golf Club near Stillwater.

Eric's mission field is professional golf. “Without Jesus the life of any professional athlete is incomplete. I have wept in the middle of a golf tournament for the souls of these players", he shared recently.

Eric and his wife have a three year old child and live in Rogers, MN.
