Treasurer/MK Coordinator

Jerry Sandoz became a missionary with OMS International in South Korea in 1972 following an assignment with the World Relief Commission in South Vietnam and South Korea. Jerry became active in numerous OMS ministries, serving as field treasurer and business manager for all OMS South Korea ministries, working with Every Creature Crusade programs, serving on the board of Seoul Theological University, and serving as treasurer at Seoul Union Church. In 1992 Jerry became South Korea field leader and served in that capacity until 1996.

Barbara met Jerry in South Korea while traveling with a Campus Crusade for Christ evangelistic music group in 1973. On tour she became interested in long-term service in South Korea just weeks before meeting Jerry. Since their marriage in 1975, Barbara has taught English at Seoul Theological University, taught kindergarten and middle school music at Seoul Foreign School, led English Bible classes with Korean women in the community, took leadership in Christian Women’s Club, led the children and adult choirs at Seoul Union Church, and helped with mission hospitality.

In 1997, the Sandozes relocated to headquarters in Greenwood, IN, where Jerry began working in the finance department. In February of 2000 he was named Treasurer of OMS. Barbara works in the Member Care department with special assignment to minister to our missionary kids (MKs). She also is involved with biblical counseling in their local church.

Jerry is a graduate of George Fox University with a major in mathematics. Barbara trained in music education and graduated from Westminster Choir College.

The Sandozes have three adult children - Josh, Debbie and Jeff - and two grandchildren.
