Sherry Shmidt was appointed the new campus chaplain for  Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary (APNTS), effective June 1.

Shmidt, an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene and a registered nurse, has served previously in the areas of guidance counseling, member care, and general health services.

“We are prayerfully anticipating general benefits for the whole campus,” said Engineer Shionel Blas Gesite, officer in charge.

Sherry and her husband, Lynn, who is head of the Missiology Department at APNTS, arrived in the Philippines in 2015 after serving 18 years as missionaries in Africa.

“I look forward to the coming year,” Sherry said, “working to support and facilitate the spiritual and holistic development and growth of all who are a part of the APNTS community.”

In addition to serving as APNTS chaplain, Sherry will continue to serve as part of the member care team for the Asia-Pacific Region.
