If you knew Wayne Roberts, you knew his life was his mission field. From Lakeland to North Carolina, and Texas to many, many international countries, Wayne had a heart for serving people. To continue his legacy, Wayne prayed about starting a family foundation.

 

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you," Matthew 7:7.

 

Wayne lived his life as a reflection of this verse and picked the name Matthew 7:7 for his foundation to honor it.

 

Matthew 7:7 will partner with specific causes that burdened Wayne's heart and further impassioned his desire to serve God and serve others. These include, but are not limited to:

1. One More Child

2. Casas Por Cristo

3. Various Sports Ministries

4. Palm Beach Atlantic University, Gardner Webb Scholarships

 

One More Child works to bring hope to vulnerable children and struggling families with the help of everyday heroes. A specific program within One More Child is Trafficking Victims - the average cost to support one child in this program is $47,000.00

 

Casas Por Cristo's mission is to open the door for local pastors and churches to share the love of Jesus Christ by building homes and serving the communities they build in. These communities include Acuna, Mexico, Juarez, Mexico, San Raymundo, Guatemala, Santiago, Dominican Republic & Chinandega, Nicaragua. The average cost to build a home is $8,915.00

 

If you know the Roberts family, you know that sports has always been a vessel to share the hope of Christ. Matthew 7:7 will work with various national sports ministries to make a lasting Kingdom impact.

 

In lieu of sending flowers or any other assistance, please consider donating to Matthew 7:7 to continue the faith-filled legacy of Wayne Roberts.
