Sherry Sabella, her late husband Jim, and sons Philip and Jonathan were appointed as missionaries to the Czech Republic in 1994. Before that time they were Assemblies of God pastors in both New York and Pennsylvania.

They served in the Czech Republic until 2004 at which time they were appointed as Assemblies of God World Missions Area Directors to the 7 countries of Central Europe. These countries include: Austria, The Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland.

In 2017, Jim and Sherry became Area Director for the newly formed Southeast Europe. The new area consists of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.

In her ministry as Area Director, Sherry is responsible for organizing and directing the Assemblies of God World Missions program in Southeast Europe. She works directly with the Assemblies of God missionaries living and ministering in Southeast Europe. She also works directly with the national Pentecostal church leaders in those countries.

Along with her duties as Area Director, Sherry is also the founding directors of Europe’s Heart. Europe’s Heart is a ministry that focuses on those who live on the margins of society.

CONTINUING ON IN MINISTRY!
I am continuing in this mission. At the age of 17, I felt God’s call on my life to missions. And a specific call to Eastern Europe. That call remains to this day. Just as Elisha took on Elijah’s mantle, I feel Jim has placed his mantle over me to continue spreading God’s love and message to Southeast Europe. I am continuing in Jim’s former role as Area Director to Southeast Europe Area. This area is comprised of 11 countries, nearly all located within the Balkans. My responsibilities include leading the missionaries serving in this area and working directly with the leadership of the national churches in these countries.
