Jery became a Christian in the Spring of 1970 through Campus Crusade for Christ at Western Michigan University, where he graduated in 1975 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education, majoring in Communication Arts and Science and minoring in English and Physical Education. He attended Central Bible College in 1981 and 1982, focusing on New Testament studies. He has been regularly preaching and teaching Bible studies ever since at various homes, churches and prison ministries. He travelled to Haiti on a mission trip in 1991, where the group was confronted by an angry Voodoo Witch Doctor who tried to stop their outdoor service by casting a spell for bad weather. And indeed, it did start to rain. However, the assembly began to pray, and the sky soon cleared up! The Witch Doctor was amazed! It would have been outstanding if the Witch Doctor had been saved at that point, but he wasn’t. However he did stay for the service and agreed to talk to one of the local pastors later, to learn more. Jery has been studying the scriptures on an almost daily basis for more than 40 years, focusing on the teachings and commands of Jesus. Teaching the New Covenant is his calling and passion.
