Salt and Light Ministry is a ministry dream which started as a Facebook page ministry, and is now a blog. Founded on the verses in Matthew Chapter 5. “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:13-16
A little bit about me: Cheryl Anderson. I am a Pastor’s wife and mother. This ministry has been started by me as a step in the direction of God’s calling on my life.
As a child, I was not raised in church. My parents had been hurt by a local church and left when I was bout 3 years old. I was taken to church by neighbors from time to time and my parents taught me all about God and right from wrong, but I missed out on being a part of a church family. From age 11-15 I became a handful. My grades were bad and so was my attitude. I did and said alot of things that I regret. But………
At age 15, I visited a local church with some neighbors and fell in love. With the church and with Jesus! A couple of months later I was convicted and I walked the aisle to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I have never been the same.
I have been married to my husband, Bryan for 26 years. We have two children, a son who is 24 and is a web developer and a daughter who is 20 and is in her junior year of college, both are now living on their own. My husband has been in full time ministry for about 17 years, serving the Lord as a part time youth director for about 8 or 9 years before that. Our family serves the Lord together in many ways through our church. Both children are musically talented with instruments as well as voice. They both love the Lord and that is really all that we can ask for!
A few years ago, the Lord started dealing with me and drawing me closer to Him. He has been steady leading me in taking baby steps toward His calling for me. I’m learning that although He called me to be a Pastor’s wife, there is so much more that He wants from me.
Salt and Life Ministry is the start of something that God wants me to do. I’m not sure what all it will entail, but I’m excited to be starting this journey.
