Peters' Family Bio (current as of February 27th, 2007)

  (Craig, Tomya and Micah)

Tomya and I have been married since June 7, 1980. The Lord has blessed us with 5 wonderful children. The blessings compound themselves in that each of our children in their own way, has made it their mission to serve God. Elijah (23) , married to Kristen, is making plans to plant a “church planting “ work in Auckland, NZ this Summer (www.imaginenewzealand.org). He has degrees from AIM, SIBI and Regions University. Mickenzie (21) is studying in a rigorous Dental Hygiene program at Lamar University, Beaumont, TX. In addition to that she volunteers for service projects and teaching at the Maplewood congregation (Sulphur, LA) and is very active in Campus outreach in Lake Charles, LA. Daniel (19) is currently a student in AIM. He is planning to serve in Napier, NZ beginning this Spring. Tabitha (17) is currently taking classes at South Plaines College, Lubbock, TX. She also is studying sign language and interprets for a hearing impaired congregation at Sunset. Her plan is to enroll in AIM this Fall. Micah (14) is excelling in her studies and has made her mark in our congregation helping watch the children of our many new mothers.

My ministry experience has taken me to congregations in Idabel, OK, Kokomo, IN, Sulphur, LA, Woodinville, WA and now Polson, MT. I have also directed Christian Camps in Indiana, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington.

My ambition is to help prepare families to serve Australia and any country that it influences. My hope is to also plant congregations and build up the body of Christ currently serving there. I also believe that Ephesians 3:20-21 tells me that God can even accomplish more than I can imagine.

I am the Dean of Administration of the Macquarie School of Biblical Studies, Sydney, AUS. My hope is, Lord willing, to join that work this Spring.
