Charleeda Sprinkle

Charleeda holds a BA in education, served as a minister’s wife for 13 years, and has taught the Bible for over 50 years. From 1998 to 2012, her chief residence was Jerusalem, Israel, where she served as an editor, proofreader, and writer with Bridges for Peace. She also volunteered as a Healing Pools facilitator and discipleship teacher at Kings of Kings Community Jerusalem congregation. Living in Israel, the epicenter of biblical prophecy, dramatically changed her life, her understanding of the Bible, and has kept her sensitive to God's times.

At the age of 13, she told the Lord, “I'll go wherever you want me to go." Besides Israel, she's served in South Korea (1968-70) as an elementary school teacher for missionary children; South Africa (2012, 2014, 2015) teaching church leaders; Malawi (2012, 2015) and Mozambique (2011, 2013, 2014, 2015) teaching pastors and church leaders; Kenya (2017) discipling children and adults; and the Philippines (2016) on a church mission trip.

Though not Jewish, spiritually, she is of the tribe of Naphtali: “Naphtali is a deer let loose; he [she] uses beautiful words” (Genesis 49:21). This was given to her by the Lord many years ago and is evidenced through her writing and teaching.

She currently resides in Evergreen, Colorado, close to two of her three girls. Her third daughter resides in Anchorage, Alaska with her two youngest grandsons, whom she visits twice a year. Her seven grandchildren and one great-granddaughter keep her busy! Her oldest grandson is married, one is studying in Paris, France, another in Minnesota, and one just joined the Coast Guard.

In October 2022, Charleeda returned for a fun 10-year anniversary visit back to Israel and loved seeing all the familiar sites in Jerusalem and meeting up with old friends.
