Ron Roper ministers to the body of Christ primarily as an apostle, teacher and psalmist.
Ron Roper was born in Rome, Georgia in 1954, the only child of Jimmy and Mena Roper. The Roper family traveled extensively across the United States, averaging over 300 revival meetings a year for the first six years of Ron’s life. After that, they settled in the state of Washington for two years before relocating more permanently in San Diego, CA. Ron stayed in California until after high school and then resumed traveling throughout the states until beginning full-time ministry in 1979. In 1981, Ron met his wife, Lilly, in the church where he worked and the two were married in 1982. The Lord graced Ron and Lilly in 1984 with a beautiful girl named Veronica, and then in 1986 with a wonderful boy named Joseph. Ron and Lilly now regularly enjoy quality time with their two young granddaughters.
Ron was raised in an atmosphere of preaching and singing as well as having talented and musical parents. At an early age, Ron began to show signs of giftings and anointings from the Lord. Ron made his singing debut in church at the age of four years old. By the age of eleven, he had co-written, arranged and performed on three long play albums.
Ron has been graced with an anointing for praise and worship music, to sing and play almost a dozen instruments, as well as preach and teach the Word of God. Ron has recorded and produced many tapes, CD’s and videos and has ministered with many anointed people throughout the world. His preaching and teaching emphasizes praise, worship, healing and body ministry as the believer’s lifestyle.
In 1991, Ron and Lilly Roper became senior pastors of Northwest Christian Center in Portland, Oregon, after being associate pastors for the previous nine years. In 1995, Ron and Lilly founded the first Believer’s World Ministries there. In 1999, the Lord called Ron and his family to travel the roads of the United States in a donated and converted American Eagle bus, ministering as the Lord led in various churches and holding Total Freedom Crusades in selected areas. After about four years on the road, the ministry settled in Natchez, MS, where its headquarters are now located. The ministry has since purchased a revival tent and has been holding Total Freedom Tent Crusades both locally and in the western United States to reach the unreached on neutral ground, further fulfilling the ministry’s mission of “You, Reaching the World Through God’s Love and Power.”
Ron’s lifelong experience in praise and worship led him to author the book “Flowing in the Anointing” to share his rare understanding and wisdom in this area. Ron had found no other resources that shared keys to flowing with the Holy Spirit to bring worshipers into true worship, so he created this unique and valuable book to guide worship teams and musicians on how to flow with the Holy Spirit’s lead into true worship as a congregation. This book along with other recordings are available through this website.
The Ron Roper Ministries is now headquartered in beautiful Natchez, Mississippi. Believer’s World Ministries meets locally for Refresher Services on a regular basis, and currently holds Home Involved Ministries (HIM) meetings in private homes.
Having acquired extensive recording studio experience over much of his life, Ron created and operates the professional recording studio MediaGate Studio in Natchez, MS.
