About the Author
Gary Rohrmayer has a unique focus on mobilizing and mentoring leaders toward missional impact. He specializes in equipping leaders in areas of spiritual formation, church planting, and church health. Gary’s vision is that “no leader should travel alone.” He desires to emulate the ministry of Barnabas (Acts 4:32) by becoming a son of encouragement to the next generation of leaders. Gary has been involved in church planting since 1987. During this time, he has been involved in over 200 new church plants on every level. He has been a founding pastor, regional and national church planting leader, seminary professor, trainer, conference speaker, coach, consultant, and business leader.
Gary has authored seventeen books. His 21 Days of Prayer books have sold over 100,000 copies. His 21 Days of Discipleship books are reaching that same level. His book, Spiritual Conversations, describes the evangelistic philosophy of his best-selling spiritual conversation tool, The Spiritual Journey Guide, which has sold over three million copies. Gary’s resources are available through GaryRohrmayer.com.
On March 2010, Gary became the president of Converge MidAmerica, overseeing its business and ministry interests that support regional church planting and ongoing care of its partner churches. This regional network of churches has expanded into an international ministry. Under the team Gary has built, it has grown from 125 churches to over 838 churches. On November 2024, Gary will take a back seat in supporting his successor, who will take lead of the organization in reaching the next generation with the gospel, through the starting and strengthening of churches worldwide. Gary will focus his attention on the expanding work of Axelerate.
In 2017, Gary relaunched Axelrate (originally called Vision360), a multi-denominational ministry to serve church planting organizations throughout North America. Axelerate exists to serve leaders who serve church planters. During the last six years, Gary and his part-time start up team have coached, consulted, and cared for thirty-nine leaders in thirty organizations who are influencing over 36,000 churches in North America.
Gary is a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois with a BA in Bible/Theology and an MA in Christian Ministry/Leadership. In 2024, Gary was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Florida.
Gary and his wife, Mary, have been married over four decades. They have three grown children and three grandchildren.
