Dr David and Sherry Nichols are the senior leaders of Heart of the Father Ministries. They met at North Central Bible College (now North Central University) in Minneapolis, MN. They married in 1973 and have four sons who are all married, and twenty grandchildren.
Dr Nichols was born and raised in Oshkosh, WI, and holds degrees from North Central University, Minneapolis, MN; Bethel Theological Seminary, St. Paul, MN; and Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI. He has over forty years of ministry experience as pastor, college professor, academic dean, and missionary evangelist. He is ordained with the General Council of the Assemblies of God, Springfield, MO. Sherry Nichols was born and raised in Worthington, MN, and has a degree from North Central University, Minneapolis, MN. She has ministered alongside her husband for over forty years. She holds ordination with Five-Fold International, Springfield, IL, and has ministered in many states of the USA, India, Tanzania, and Benin.
In 1997, Dr Nichols had a life-changing encounter with Jesus on a road in North Dakota. Jesus asked him, “Are you a Pharisee?” The answer was too painful to face that day, but two weeks later, David and Sherry together found themselves running to the altar at Brownsville Assembly of God in Pensacola, FL. There they experienced the conviction of sin, especially the “good evangelical sins,” and were soaked with the Father’s amazing love. Through many other encounters with revival fire, they began to see the people of the church and the world through Father’s eyes. In the year 2000, they founded Heart of the Father Ministries, International and since then they have ministered the Gospel of the Kingdom in eighteen states of the USA, Peru, Argentina, Belgium, Ukraine, Ghana, Benin, Cameroon, Burundi, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, India, and South Korea.
Dr David and Sherry Nichols have preached the Gospel to over one million people face-to-face, with over 350,000 responding to receive Jesus as their Savior. Twice they have ministered to over 100,000 people at one place, at one time, in South India. Instructed by Matthew 24:14, they believe that the Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the End will come.
