Author and Minister
Jerry Holt
Rev. Jerry Holt served as a pastor with a heart for people and a lifelong passion for the Kingdom of God for over 30 years in Lewiston Idaho. With decades of ministry experience, his calling has taken him across cultures, continents, and congregations—always with a singular mission: to see lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ.
Before stepping back into pastoral leadership, Rev. Holt faithfully served as a missionary in Hong Kong, where he ministered in a dynamic international setting. During that time, he was involved in evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development, helping to strengthen and grow the local church while reaching people from diverse backgrounds. His years on the mission field shaped his global perspective and deepened his burden for souls.
Today, Bishop Holt brings that same passion to the local churchs. His ministry is marked by clear biblical teaching, a strong emphasis on prayer and the moving of the Spirit, and a genuine love for people. He is committed to building a church that honors its foundation while reaching forward into a future of revival and growth.
Rev. Holt believes the Church is called not only to gather, but to go—to impact its community and beyond with the message of hope found in Jesus Christ. His leadership reflects a balance of vision, humility, and a desire to see every individual walk in their God-given purpose.

My Story
Rev. Jerry Holt became Pastor of New Life Apostolic Church in January 1996. He and his family had previously served in Hong Kong and China, where they spent 13 years establishing an International and Chinese Church and working with the underground churches in China.
He and his wife, Fayetta, are both graduates of Christian Life College (WABC) in Stockton, California.
They have been in the ministry for over 40 years helping people come to a revelation of God’s purpose and plan for their lives.
Pastor Holt has a burden to see the Word of God be effective, the Power of the Holy Spirit to be poured out and the Name of Jesus magnified in every service. Come and experience the difference!
Fayetta Holt served with her husband for thirteen years in Hong Kong and China where she home schooled her three daughters who are all married now and have added five grandchildren to the family all of whom she loves very much. Bishop and Sister Holt are deeply loved by all who know them. They retired in February 2026 but are still active in Global Missions and Evangelist Ministry.
