Global Ministry

Cheri (Bridges) Floyd, ’91, was recently appointed as the Regional Director for Pacific-Southeast Asia through the Christian missions organization Global Partners. Cheri is the first woman serving in that region to be appointed to this role.

Over the past 30 years, Cheri, her husband, and her three sons have served the people of Papua New Guinea in various roles, from teaching eighth-grade level education to adults, to preaching barefoot in small churches with dirt floors, to completing construction projects, to speaking at women’s conferences in big cities, and more.

In addition to her new role as Regional Director, Cheri is finishing her master’s degree in adult education and working with Wesleyan Bible College of Papua New Guinea to set up a program using the learning styles natural to the area’s villages.
