| Terry Ann Sherman | Terry Sherman was born in Tacoma, Washington and grew up in Seattle. At age 27 she married Ed Sherman (1982), moved to The Netherlands with him and did her DTS 5 weeks after getting married. They thought they’d stay maybe 2 years, but 37 years later they’re still in YWAM and still in The Netherlands at the Heidebeek base! Their 2 sons, David (33) and Chris (30), were born in Holland and still live there.
Out of her 37 years of experience of raising support, Terry now teaches others about this topic. Her passion for this grew out of their own struggles and almost leaving the mission field because of lack of finances. She understands the negative feelings and thoughts that go along with “asking people for money”, but things changed once she learned the biblical perspective on this and God’s ways of making provision. Her workshop is now also available for free online and she is passionately spreading the training in the nations and also raising up more trainers in YWAM.
