David T. Roller served for 17 years as a Free Methodist missionary in Mexico, then for 10 years as Latin America Area Director for Free Methodist World Missions and in July of 2007 was elected a bishop of the Free Methodist Church – USA. His experience in seeing the world through “missionary eyes” has convinced him that all Christians should adopt the posture and mind set of missionaries — understanding the culture where they minister, relinquishing their own preferences and privileges in their desire to see people’s key allegiance transferred from “whatever” to Jesus.
Bishop Roller now oversees the ministry of eleven annual conferences in the eastern area of the United States, as well as the United Kingdom, and the five annual conferences of Latin America.
David and the love of his life, Yvonne, both graduated from Spring Arbor College in Michigan and David is also a graduate of Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky. The Rollers have two grown children and one grandchild.
Bishop David and Yvonne, reside in Baltimore, Maryland.

Lawanda writes, "As a young Christian, I was reading the Bible and heard an inner voice ask, 'Will you preach for me?' I felt it was the voice of the Lord and told Him I would. Then He pointed me to 1 Timothy 1:12, ' And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;' That settled it for me and I've done my best to obey the Lord in all things and follow His direction from that day forward. " Lawanda currently serves as the general president of the Free Methodist Women's Ministries International.
Rex and LaWanda live in St. Petersburg, Florida, where they pastor the Cornerstone Community Church (a Free Methodist Church). They are the proud parents of two sons, a daughter and four grandsons.
