Sheri is a pastor’s daughter who received the Lord’s call to international ministry as a young teen. She has served with two international Christian organizations, working both locally and internationally for the past twenty-five years. Sheri has worked in a wide range of jobs (teacher, tutor, sound tech, linguistic researcher, administrative assistant, etc.) during her time in South America, Europe, Africa, and the US.
Years of poor self-care, too little margin, and an absence of good boundaries led to Sheri’s burnout and extended leave from the field. Thank the Lord for godly counselors, a wonderful home church, a supportive family, and a terrific partnership team that prayed and watched as the Lord led her through a restoration of spirit, soul, and body. It was out of this experience that the vision for the Oasis of Peace was birthed.
