Cheryl was saved at an early age. She surrendered to be a missionary in 1982, after hearing a missionary to the Philippines speak in their church. A few months later in a missions conference, God impressed the Philippines on her heart. In preparation for the ministry, Cheryl graduated from Victory Baptist Bible College in Canada and became a nurse in 1991. She moved to the Philippines in 1994 and served at a mission hospital as a missionary nurse until 2013. At that time, the Lord directed her to work at a children’s home, also in the Philippines. By 2017, Cheryl moved from the children’s home to work as a church planting assistant in new church plants. She had been actively involved in Sunday School, VBS, women’s, and music ministry until 2020. 

Cheryl is currently on temporary family leave. She was caring for her mother, who went Home to be with her Lord at the end of March. Cheryl waits on God’s timing for her return to the Philippines in the near future.
