Born and raised in Atlanta,
Georgia, Sherri Dodd knew from an early age that her life
would be committed to helping others. After trusting Christ as
Savior at age 12, she committed her life to
cross-cultural missions. Sherri later earned a Graduate of
Theology degree majoring in Christian Education. In 1975, Sherri
married her sweetheart, Randy. She was 19 years old
when she and her husband first moved overseas as missionaries to
Oslo, Norway. She has worked for over twenty-five years as a pioneer
missionary alongside her husband, establishing three international
churches in Europe. She speaks Norwegian and German.
Sherri is a gifted public
speaker with a heart for people and a broad base of missionary experience
which makes her a much
sought after speaker. As a Christian, she longs for God to use her in every way possible to build up
His kingdom. Since she moved back to Georgia in the summer of 1998,
Sherri has been speaking to ladies' groups and allowing them to
experience her extensive teacup collection through her "Treasured by God" tea parties. Sherri has a humorous wit and an unusual ability to put thoughts in word pictures. She is a creative encourager who is resourceful and uplifting. She has three children, two daughters born in Norway and a son born in Germany. Sherri's children are so spaced out in age that she laughs and says "I'm just staying current with
all the mothers of the world!" Her sense of humor has
helped maintain her sanity though the many moves, changes and
challenges of life. She is a member of Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia where she enjoys singing in the choir for the classic service.
Sherri also reaches out
to individuals through her "StraightForward
Life Coaching" ministry. As a coach, she encourages and challenges those who desire assistance to excel in life. Sherri is also the founder and president of Advance Global Coaching, a non-profit organization that provides coaching in the missions commmunity.
