HIGHLIGHTS FROM PULPIT COMMITTEE 

Peter is seen by his peers as a dedicated servant leader who prioritizes the well-being of others and embodies the teachings of Christ, leaving a positive impression through his actions. With significant experience in a large 2,000-member church, ministering in a slum, and leading small groups within a diverse congregation, he has developed a strong understanding of ministry and leadership in varied settings. His deep interest in cross-cultural ministry, particularly in connecting with believers from different backgrounds, led him to apply for the position at our church, seeing it as a new challenge guided by God. Peter is committed to the importance of unity among diverse cultures in the body of Christ. He values the beauty of bringing people of different backgrounds together under Christ and sees it as a vital part of his ministry.
