First Lady Sheri Nation

 

Lady Sheri Nation is the First Lady of Zion Tabernacle the House of Prayer  in Oakland, CA. She and Pastor Erik Nation have been married for 29 years. She is the mother of two daughters; Erykha Nation-Donnell and Elexsis Nation, the proud Grandmother of Amyah Edwards, Serenity Nation and Nehemiah Williams. God has blessed Lady Sheri and Pastor Nation to be able to add three beautiful new additions to their family Tariya, Trenyte and Trezur, which the Nation’s consider a blessing of God’s increase.

 

Not only does Lady Sheri preach; but she also works diligently within the ministry. It has been noted that she is an outstanding “Praise and Worship leader.” Lady Sheri served for several years as the instructor of HOPE Center’s Godly Women classes and is the founder of the Evangelism Outreach Ministry. She has also served in the office of Northern California State Women’s Director of the Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship International.

 

In December of 2011, God made a drastic move in direction regarding ministry. God told Pastor and Lady Nation to take the church that they gave birth to House of Prayer Evangelistic Center, and merge it with their spiritual father and pastor in the ministry Apostle Alonzo B. Emerson’s church Zion Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. It was by divine appointment that God told Apostle Emerson that Pastor and Lady Nation would be the ones to take his ministry to the next dimension. Therefore, they are now the proud founders of Zion Tabernacle the House of Prayer.

 

Lady Sheri is a woman after God’s own heart, a woman of integrity, dedication and determination. She is a woman with a spirit of excellence, a heart of compassion and knows how to preach and live by the word of God.

 

God has allowed her to travel and touch the lives of women of all ages by spreading the good news of how amazing He is. As a woman of God she encourages you as she challenges you to trust God by living and walking according to His word as you see God reveal himself in your life. Her belief is that as people of God we should lead by example. Most importantly, she loves the Lord with her whole heart.

 

Lady Sheri’s favorite passage of scripture is

Psalms 138:8, “The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me.”
