“Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15). And so our Leadership Institute course, Church Evangelism and Outreach, which begins May 3, 2021, is all about fulfilling Jesus’ Great Commission. Sheryl White, who is an experienced church leader in evangelism, will serve as our teacher.
Sheryl White is a Barclay College faculty member and Development Coordinator for Youth Core Ministries (Youth for Christ) in south central Kansas. She is active in the Haviland Friends Church, and earlier served in the United Methodist Church. Sheryl was Pastor of the Copeland United Methodist Church and Director of Lay Ministries in the First United Methodist Church in Pratt, Kansas, where she gave oversight to children, youth, and adult ministries. In the Pratt Church, she was also Coordinator of Educational Programming, a responsibility that included planning and implementation of ministries in the church and community. In the Haviland Friends Church, Sheryl developed adult elective programming for outreach and discipleship. In these ministries, she gained valuable experiences in evangelism and outreach, and she will share these with us in our Leadership Institute classes on “Church Outreach and Evangelism.” Sheryl is equipped with many ideas, suggestions, and resources that will be helpful to us in the evangelism and outreach ministries of our churches in whatever culture we minister. As you listen to Sheryl, you will witness her heart of compassion for all of God’s people worldwide, and her care especially for persons who are terminally ill. She was, for example, Operator of South Wind Hospice, Inc. You will soon discover that Sheryl is also a scholar. She received the Doctor of Ministry degree from the Houston Graduate School of Theology. She is an articulate writer and published the book, Underground Angel: A Slave of Love on the Railway to Freedom, a historical fiction on the life of the abolitionist, Laura Haviland. You will certainly enjoy Sheryl as a personable, delightful, compassionate friend and knowledgeable teacher.
