THORNTON, CO

An Introduction from Pastor Keenan Roberts

 

This page is dedicated to the remarkable life and ministry of my Dad, Jerry R. Roberts and our family's desire to carry on his heart for ministry to Spanish speaking people. It is an honor for our church to host this page! Below you will find the explanation about the purpose of the Jerry Roberts Memorial Fund and how it will function. We also believe you'll enjoy reading numerous other features and of course, don't miss the photo gallery of Dad and Mom, their ministry and our family. 

 

After living a beautiful Christian life, last year the sun set on his earthly journey. Following 79 years of making his mark on our family as well as people around the world, on April 25th, 2020 Dad entered into his eternal rest. We have created this page to further his legacy and continue his passion for Spanish speaking people being touched with the Good News of Jesus! We would love for you to be a part of that!

 

For those of you that knew he and my mother, you are likely aware that their last 30 years in ministry were spent ministering to Hispanic people both in the US and Latin America. The desire of our family is that you would honor his life and ministry by making a contribution to the Jerry Roberts Memorial Fund. Every contribution made to this Fund can potentially bless Hispanic churches, projects, ministers, ministries and missionaries that are reaching Spanish speaking people both in the US and other parts of the world--all in memory of Jerry Roberts! He would be so proud and any amount you can give is greatly appreciated!  

 

Finally, on this page you can learn more about his ministry journey! He had quite the ministry adventure throughout his 60+ years of preaching and teaching! We encourage you to read, enjoy the photos, read what other dear friends have written about him and also access audio sermons he preached by visiting his YouTube channel.

 

Thank you for dropping in and showing interest in this Memorial page and learning about our Vision to keep Dad's Hispanic flame alive. God bless you and please reach out to us if you have any questions.

​

Sincerely,

A Proud Son

Pastor Keenan Roberts

How It Will Work

 

All contributions to the Jerry Roberts Memorial Fund will be given through and accounted for by New Destiny Christian Center. JRMF Executive Director will be Mamie Roberts. All decisions and how donations will bless various Hispanic ministries will begin with her, Jerry's wife and ministry partner of nearly 60 years. THE JRMF will also be jointly managed by 2 of Jerry’s children (Keenan Roberts, and Stefanie Howard) and his 4 grandsons (Jade Roberts, Zakary Howard, Nicolas Howard, and Blaze Roberts.) In essence, this “Family Board” will work together on how and where donations and financial blessings will be sent.

Ministry History of Jerry & Mamie

 

Jerry left home as a teenager and took his last two years of high school via correspondence so that he could begin to travel and preach as a young evangelist. While he was on the Evangelistic field he held a revival meeting in Roswell, NM in the home church of Mamie Fulkerson. In 1961 they married and were a dynamic couple for nearly 6 decades! (They celebrated 58 Anniversaries together!)

 

From 1964 to 1989 they Pastored wonderful Assemblies of God churches in:

Clayton, NM

Plainview, TX

Lubbock, TX

Tucson, AZ

 

In 1989 they answered the Call to Missions and moved to Latin America to begin language school in San Jose, Costa Rica. At nearly 50 years old they defied the odds, facing the immense challenge of learning Spanish at that age. This began a 30 year love affair with reaching Hispanic people with the Gospel.

 

Throughout their many years in Latin America Jerry served as the Assemblies of God Area Director for Central (Latin) America, served as the Director of the Language School in San Jose’, Costa Rica, helped build churches, poured into fellow missionaries, raised up national pastors and leaders, worked with Latin American Child Care and preached thousands of times in Spanish. All with his Sweetheart deeply immersed in the ministry with him. 

 

Once Jerry and Mamie moved back to the States they made their home in the Phoenix area and continued to work closely with the Southwest District of the Assemblies of God which serves Hispanic speaking Pastors and churches. They enthusiastically served together as the Directors of Pastoral Care for the Southwest District until the time of his passing. Mamie continues to give support to Pastoral Care in the Southwest District whenever she is needed.

 

Mamie still resides in the Phoenix area and continues to be very involved in a variety of ministry endeavors as well as spending time with her family in AZ, CO, and NM.

               Double Your Giving!

                      Details Of The Matching Funds Challenge

 

Our Family is so delighted to share with you that an anonymous Donor has created a  MATCHING FUNDS CHALLENGE to benefit the Jerry Roberts Memorial Fund! The Donor is wanting to inspire you to get involved in giving and supporting ministry to Spanish speaking people!

THE STRUCTURE OF THE 12 MONTH CHALLENGE
From June 2021 through May 2022 the anonymous Donor will match up to $1000 each month of the Challenge. If $800 comes in for a particular month they will match it! If $500 comes in for a different month they will match it. Our family would love for you to pray about joining the Challenge and making a monthly commitment to give to the JRMF! If you give $25/month the Donor turns your gift into $50/month. If you give $50/month the Donor turns your gift into $100/month. The collective potential for the year is a combined $24,000 for building the Kingdom and blessing ministry that is touching Spanish speaking people.

​

The Donor has also put several guidelines in place to hopefully ignite giving from numerous people, places and churches. One of the stipulations is that the immediate Roberts Family cannot exceed more than 50% of a particular month's match amount. This design is intended to help the Roberts Family not bear most of the burden of giving but to inspire others to give each of the 12 months of the Challenge and help carry the financial load! It's a beautiful plan.
