I understand what a risk it can be to invite someone to speak at your church or event. Trust me. I pastored for more than 20 years. I know how nerve wracking it can be.
If I am ever privileged to speak to your church or event I assure you I will do everything I can to make it a good experience for you and your church or event.
A little bit about me, I have served as:
- Senior pastor of New Life Foursquare Church in Enumclaw, Washington (USA) for more than 20 years.
- Former president of the Plateau Ministerial Association, bringing together pastors and churches from across the spectrum of Christian faith.
- Founding board member and former president of Plateau Outreach Ministries, offering Christ-centered social services to the Enumclaw Plateau.
- Missions Representative in the Seattle District of Foursquare Churches.
- Regional Coordinator for Eastern Europe.
- Coordinator of Foursquare Relief and Compassion.
- Current FMI Area Missionary to Europe.
What you can expect of me:
- No pressure. I will never pressure you or your congregation or event, especially for money. It just is not my style.
- Prompt responses to your inquiries. Email me at jroper@foursquare.org.
- A quality message on the agreed upon topic or theme from the Word of God.
- Did I mention there will never be any pressure?
What others have to say:
Jeff Roper is a man on mission. The two words that first come to my mind are feisty & convincing. He loves the local church, fights for a global vision and remains prophetic for this moment in the Church. As I pastor, I wanted him to speak to our church. As a missions leader, I recommend him regularly to other pastors and churches throughout the USA. – Kaj Martin, Pastor at Living Way Foursquare, Seattle, WA
We have had the great joy to have Jeff speak both to our whole congregation as well as in pastor’s seminars. Whether he is preaching or teaching he is able to effectively communicate the message and it is evidenced in the positive way people respond to him. It is a blessing to have had him with us many times and we continue to welcome him as his busy schedule allows. – Dr. George Patsaouras, Athens, Greece
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Do you charge a fee? No! It helps if you can cover travel expenses, but if your church regularly supports the FMI Global Missions Fund, I am your missionary. It would be my joy and delight to thank your church in person for their generous support. If you do not currently support Foursquare Missions but are interested in learning more, I would love to make an investment into your church as you pursue God’s plan for missions.
- Do you speak at small churches? Yes, all the time and I love it.
- Do you talk about anything other than missions? Yes. Twenty-three years of pastoral ministry gives me a multi-faceted appreciation for the Word of God. With input from the pastor or event coordinator, I can develop a message that fits the needs of your church or event.
- Will you pressure people to give? Absolutely not. I share the Word of God and talk about what God is doing on the field. I leave the response up to the pastor and the people.
