About Us

Kevin and Kendra Akins has joined our staff as Area Director for Western Oklahoma and West Texas.  Kevin is an ordained minister and recently accepted to be the pastor in Elk City, Oklahoma.  He has traveled as a full-time evangelist for the past 10 years. His ministry traveled over much of Oklahoma, Missouri, West Texas and parts of Colorado. Kevin soon realized that many of those pastors are bi-vocational, working full-time on a secular job while fulfilling the duties of a pastor. He and his wife Kendra soon found out the struggles these pastors face everyday.

Before evangelizing, Kevin and his wife served as pastors but have always had a heart for ministers and discovered ways to bring encouragement to them. They established a retreat center called Journey's Inn, built in the heart of Oklahoma. Their goal was to strengthen our ministers and churches through their ministry. Their ministry theme was “Winning the Hearts of Men for the Heart of God in the Heart of America”.

Kevin understands the need for such a ministry as PCI. Too many ministers are leaving the ministry! They need encouragement, support, and a safe place to turn for help. Kevin and Kendra have two children, one married son living in Missouri and one daughter living in Texas.   We are excited to have Kevin and Kendra involved in our ministry!



We are proud to present Dwayne & Crystal Maynard as our new State Directors for Arkansas.  Dwayne and Crystal Maynard are Lead Pastors of TAG Church in Little Rock, Arkansas where they have served since 2014.  Prior to pastoring in Arkansas, they pastored in Missouri and Oklahoma.  The Maynard's have a heart for pastors.  They invest time and energy in seeing other pastors become healthy leaders.  Pastor Dwayne and Crystal have two beautiful daughters who both feel called into the ministry. The both enjoy having fun doing life together. They epitomize the concept of team in the ministry. They have served as staff members and lead pastors in Assemblies of God churches in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

The Maynard's are familiar with Pastoral Care, Inc. for a number of years.  They have personally been blessed through our wonderful ministry.  They know first-hand on how this ministry is vitally needed for our pastors today.   We are so blessed to have them a part of our Pastoral Care team! 

Jerry and Linda Rotan are state directors for New Mexico.  Jerry is replacing our last director, Clyde Johnson.  Clyde has done a marvelous job in NewMexico and has encouraged, supported, and kept our pastors in the ministry through his love and compassion. 

Jerry has received his bachelor’s degree in Ministry from Southwestern Assemblies of God University.  Jerry met his wife Linda at Southwestern and was married in 1972. Our daughter was born in 1974.

My wife Linda and I have been in Ministry together since 1973. We served as Music Pastors, Associate Pastors, and Lead Pastors in Lovington NM, Midland TX, Grants NM, Las Cruces NM, with the last 19 years in Casa Grande, AZ. We retired from full time ministry in January 2019.

With the Ministry of Pastoral Care and our own experiences in ministry we want to come along side pastors as an encouragement and resource.

Jerry and Linda has the same dedication and love and pastors.  We are looking forward to hearing  great and mighty testimonies of how Jerry and Linda will influence and bless the pastors of New Mexico.  We are very proud to have Jerry and Linda as a part of the Pastoral Care, Inc. team!
