Throughout her young years, the Lord persistently drew Cheryl’s heart to himself, so she is unsure about when exactly she came to saving faith. She does remember a very sorrowful event that the Lord used when she was 12 years old to break her self-sufficient pride, win her heart, and gain her trust in him. Today Jesus is her life and greatest treasure.

During her recent time in the Degree Completion Program at Bethlehem College and Seminary, the Lord fanned in her heart a deeper love for the church. She is grateful to be in a stage of life—children grown and out of the house—where she has more capacity to serve the body. It is one of her greatest ways to see women transformed by a deepening comprehension of who the Lord is, his character, and his nature.

Cheryl is married to Marty.
