    Peter has been in pastoral ministry for over 25 years. In that time he has planted two churches with his wife Lyn. He has also facilitated the planting of seven other churches. Increasingly Peter has found himself being called to pastor other pastors. Drawing upon his experiences with the Lord during his own walk, Peter has been able to enable others to experience revelation and freedom by learning how to lead from who they are in Christ. Peter is a gifted communicator whose greatest joy and privilege is to watch other people right across the body of Christ rising up, stepping into their identities and demonstrating the Father's love in remarkable ways. Today, he and Lyn lead Stairway Church in Melbourne, have three married children and four grandchildren.

    Peter has written two books:

    A Voyage of Mercy and Above the Line. A Voyage of Mercy is Peter’s personal journey of discovery about the love of Jesus and Above the Line chronicles the way this personal discovery is being translated into the way we do church and life together.

    Apostolic Summit

    3rd May to 6th May

    2012 Apostolic Summit Rockhampton, Qld

    Watch the 2011 Apostolic Summit BROADCAST LIVE 3-6 May, 2012

    Friends,
    You are invited to share with us in a wonderful experience of apostolic grace.

    PURPOSE
    The Main Purpose of the Australian Apostolic Summit is to allow proven, mature apostles to make public, from their intimacy with Christ and love for the church, an up-to-date understanding of what Christ is saying, and to proclaim the current revelation of the apostolic message of God's work of restoration in the church today.

    HOLY
    The Summit is holy ground. Saints and apostles and prophets meet together. We meet with God, we listen, we pray, we believe.

    Come, and take your shoes off - not literally, but in the heart. What could it mean to take your shoes off on holy ground? Holy ground is where we meet with God -- 'shoes off' means we are not rushing, we stop to listen, it means submission, we are not about to walk away from the Lord - and we humble ourselves in holy awe.

    FELLOWSHIP
    Our program is designed so people can talk -- and all leaders mingle freely. Long morning teas, and even longer lunches. After the morning sessions, we have lunch together and talk at length around the tables into the afternoon.
    Relationships come first, friendship is very important. We love and admire our friends.
