Referred to as "God's Miss America", Cheryl is now evangelizing all around the world. She speaks at many churches, get-togethers, and conferences, with a special focus on salvation and on restoring worship in the Church.

Miss America 1980
The local milkman told a 5-year old Cheryl Prewitt that she would be Miss America one day. And so she was.
Cheryl Prewitt walked the runway to become Miss America 1980, despite poverty, sexual abuse, a horrific car crash that resulted in a physical handicap and over 100 stitches in her face at age 11, and subsequent accident and fall that put a total of 200 stitches in her face by age 20 which have never been touched with plastic surgery. Prewitt was the first Miss America to have a platform, something she said the pageant now encouraged for all contestants. "I stood for God and country and putting the two back together."
Ms. Prewitt entered - and lost - pageants for 5 years before winning the crown that would take her to Atlantic City. She won the Miss Starkville and Miss Mississippi titles in 1979, culminating in Miss America 1980.
