Peter, a war baby was born in Birmingham in 1940. Sadly, his mother passed away when he was only three and a half years old.
His desire as a young man was to go the the foreign ‘mission field’ and, in preparation, he attended Bible College and applied to a number of ‘Missionary Societies’. He was on the point of accepting an appointment when he discerned a ‘check in his spirit’ that he was not to go. Instead he applied for, and was accepted into ministry in the United Reformed Church.
