Peter was born in 1937. In 1955, aged 17, he became a Christian, even though that same day he had vowed, ‘I will never become a Christian!’
He married his high school sweetheart, Lorna, at the age of 21 and they had their first child two years later. Nine days after the birth, the baby died of spina bifida. Though Peter had been preaching since he was 18, this was used by God to call him into Christ’s service.
He was ordained to the ministry in 1963, aged 25, and served as minister of Ebenezer Congregational Church in Cwmbran, Wales. In 1972 he accepted a call to Rugby Evangelical Free Church, in Railway Terrace, where he ministered until 1986. During his time at Rugby, the church experienced a period of special blessing, with very many being converted.
