Pamela Sue Fortner Deboer

Pam first came to the Human Resources department of the Free Methodist World Ministries Center as a volunteer in 1990, the summer before her junior year of high school. We were very impressed with how she worked. We said, "Maybe someday you will come back and work with us again as an employee."

Well ten years later, in June 2001, she was hired as Human Resources Assistant to Willadean Duncan, director of Human Resources. When reviewing her resume, in amazement, it looked as if God had prepared her from the time she left as a volunteer to the time she came to the department with a variety of experience that made her an excellent fit for the position. Her primary responsibilities involved working with the denominational pension plan. Her talents in the area of computer and data management, graphics, composition, along with her excellent attention to detail and communication skills have been a great support to the department and those we serve. Pam talked with a variety of people on the phone from retirees, to superintendents and pastors and WMC staff. She was known as someone who had a sincere desire to help each person and support the department in whatever was needed. With Christ in her heart, her compassion and kindness stood out towards the needs of others.

Charlotte Roberts, 1959-2009
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."  —  Revelation 21:4

Charlotte was a vital FMWM staff member for 20 years. She worked in International Child Care Ministries before transferring to the finance department. Be in prayer for her husband, Roger, and step-son, Christopher.
