VOLUNTEER PROFILE
Jean Sherman-Kalcik came to know Jesus as her personal Saviour at the age of 27. She was married to a pastor, Jere Sherman, for 30 years when God called him home. Jean has a calming, understanding aspect about her, that I believe comes from being a pastor’s wife for all those years.

With 3 wonderful children, 8 grandchildren, and 1 great-granddaughter, Jean expanded her family when she married John Kalcik 4 years ago. Adding 3 grown grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

Besides volunteering with Acts 1:8 Ministry, Jean also volunteers at Brown County Volunteer Center, and at First Assembly of God. When not volunteering she enjoys crocheting and flower gardening.

One of her favorite Bible passages: John 14:1-6 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Jean, thank you for all you do, we are truly blessed to have you with us.
