Apostle Dr. Roan Paul Earle was born and raised in Jamaica. Roan attended Campion College and attended CAST (now Utech) and completed his Business Administration Diploma with honours in Marketing, then went on to UWI, where he graduated with honours in BSc. in Management – Finance. However, the two most significant experiences in his life while he was growing up in the Lord at Swallowfield Chapel. In 1985, he met Charmaine Keane who would later become his wife. She is his partner and his prize. His first and forever love. And then in 1986, at an Easter Camp, he experienced the grace of God and committed his life to follow Christ as a disciple.

In 1995, Roan said yes to the call to full-time vocational Christian ministry and began his journey as the Director of Evangelism and Discipleship at Swallowfield Chapel. During those years, God allowed him to serve in launching major evangelistic events in Kingston and igniting a church planting movement in Tanzania, Africa. With his background in new product development, marketing and distribution management, God applied those skills in mission of the Gospel.

Christmas of 1988, Roan, Charmaine and their two children moved to Pasadena, California. Roan studied at Fuller Seminary’s school of World Missions where he completed his Masters’ and then Doctorate in Intercultural Studies. Charmaine completed her residency in Family Medicine at the University of Southern California. Together, they served a multi-ethnic church in Cerritos, CA, where 22 nationalities were represented in the church and Roan’s sermons were translated live into Mandarin, and Spanish each week. It was during this time, that his middle name, “Paul” became prominent as the calling of multicultural ministry and church planting became the thrust of his life.

In 2003, The Earle’s moved to Victorville, CA with now 4 children. Dr. Charmaine has become one of the leading primary care physicians in the High Desert and ministers as the worship pastor at Life Church, Victorville. Paul and Charmaine are the founders and have led the ‘Life Church’ from a small group of 22 people in garage to a thriving church in its own facility and outreaches in our city and around the world. Now, Apostle Paul handed over the senior pastorship to Pastor Che Cowan on January 9^th, 2022. Over the years, Apostle Paul served church planters in Tanzania, Honduras, El Salvador, Grenada, Jamaica, Malawi, New York, California, and recently South Dakota.

Presently, Apostle Paul serves on the oversight of Life Church and also as a director in Destiny International Ministerial Alliance. He serves with Bishop Jesse Giddens in helping and supporting pastors in ministry in the United States, Grand Bahamas and Kenya. Drs Paul & Charmaine’s heart’s desire is to relationally strengthen church planters and ministers as they have experienced the journey of frontline ministry for over 25 years.
