Peter has worked for churches for the last 13 years, and has led or spoken at services for many different denominations, including Pentecostal, Methodist, Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. He and his team have been involved in holiday clubs, church children's parties and family services. His style is humourous and evangelistic, and he will craft his event to your requirements. If you are looking for a new way to communicate the Gospel, use Peter as a resource, he has a number of fresh and exciting ideas, and can speak at family services and special events for children. He is also prepared to attend training days to help and support the work of your local church.
