After retiring Sharon Davis was commissioned as a missionary with the Evangelical Covenant Church. In 2009 she went to Cameroon West Africa for two and a half years where her ministry focused on empowering women living in villages. After returning to the USA Sharon continued to return to Cameroon every six months. In 2017 the leadership of the ministry was fully turned over to the Cameroonian women. In March 2017 Oakdale Covenant Church, her home church, encouraged her to move to Mississippi to demonstrate to people, we do not have to leave the shores of the United States to serve as a missionary. In July 2024 Sharon returned home as the assistant director of ministries at Oakdale with a focus on leading the Soul Care ministry. While living in Mississippi she completed a two-year study with Millsaps Center of Ministry receiving a Certification as a Spiritual Director. April 2022, she became a Certified Leadership Coach. Sharon is a member of the International Network of Biblical Storytellers; she uses Biblical storytelling to tell the Good News of Jesus Christ. She has taught a Spiritual Direction class at North Park Seminary, Chicago, and online classes in spiritual direction for directees. She is mother to an enterprising daughter, granny to two amazing grands plus sister and auntie. Sharon is an accomplished artist working in various artistic materials. Fabric and doll making is her over the moon favorite. February 2024, she purchased a tiny trailer. She plans to wander, explore, and enjoy God’s creations.
