Peter Jeffery

eter Jeffery was born in 1937 and became a Christian in 1955 at the age of 17. He spent a day with a group of Christians and in the morning stated to his future wife, Lorna, "I will never become a Christian". By that afternoon, Peter was a new creation. Peter married Lorna at age 21 and they had their first child at age 23. Nine days later the baby died of Spina bifida. Though Peter had been preaching since he was 18, this incident was used by God to call Peter into His service. Peter was ordained to the ministry in 1963 at age 25 and served as the Minister at Ebenezer Congregational Church in Cwmbran, Wales. In 1972 he accepted a call to Rugby Evangelical Free Church where he ministered until 1986. In 1986 Peter went to Bethlehem Evangelical Church. There he ministered faithfully until 1994. In 1994 Peter started an itinerant preaching ministry which lasted for one year but was slowed down by heart trouble. His itinerant ministry allowed him to preach at churches and conferences in Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Spain, and the U.S.A. Peter's preaching over the years has been a testimony that anointed expository preaching is not a thing of the past. Heavily influenced by Charles Spurgeon and Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, there is the same seriousness about the need of proclaiming the truths of the Bible.
