Paul Ervin’s Pilgrimage – an autobiographyPaul Ervin’s Pilgrimage is the story of a young man’s journey to Africa in service for his church, his country, and the people of Egypt and Ethiopia.He begins by recounting his growing up years in the western U.S. around the time of the dust bowl, following his family from one failed farm to another. In Idaho, at the age of 19, Paul Ervin is thrust into adulthood when his father dies unexpectedly. After helping his family install an irrigation system and develop a productive farm, WWII calls him to service.Paul Ervin chooses to serve through his church and the United Nations. He is assigned to help run a Yugoslav refugee camp in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. But first he must get there, no small feat since all transatlantic air traffic from the U.S. is restricted to the military.And thus begins Paul Ervin’s pilgrimage. Listen to his own words as he describes his adventures, finding his way through the Caribbean to Brazil, crossing the Atlantic in a huge pontoon plane, and hitchhiking his way across Africa in military cargo planes. Read of his service and experiences in Egypt. Watch as he builds a hospital in Ethiopia, after the war, that becomes a mission, and later a large denomination of the Christian Church.His service in Africa spans only a few short years, but Paul Ervin calls it the highlight of his spiritual journey, a journey that displays a life lived by his motto – Proverbs 3:5&6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” (NKJV)
