Born in Wales in 1937 Peter became a Christian whilst still a young man of eighteen. He was married three years later in 1958 to Lorna, and they have three children, all now married. Peter and Lorna are very proud of their five grandchildren, the most recent of whom arrived during the summer of 1998. In 1963 he responded to the call of God on his life and was ordained to the ministry. His first pastorate at The Ebenezer Congregational Church, Cwmbran, Gwent commenced that same year. Following his time in Cwmbran the Lord called Peter to the Pastorate of Rugby Evangelical Free Church in 1972, where he spent the next fourteen years until in 1986 he returned to Wales and to the Bethlehem Evangelical Church in Sandfields, Port Talbot. Incidentally, it was in this very Church that the late Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones began his ministry in 1927. In 1994 Peter left Sandfields and founded Gospel Ministries, which gave him the freedom to exercise an itinerant evangelistic and teaching ministry. To win souls for Christ had always been the thrust of his ministry, but this new venture brought many more opportunities, both here and abroad, for Peter to share the Gospel. He is to this day active in this ministry, although ill health and a tired heart have caused him to slow down in recent years. He had his first major heart attack in 1985. This was followed by a quadruple by-pass operation in 1992 and a second heart attack in 1995 which forced him to retire from the full time ministry. Although now in enforced retirement, Peter is still kept busy preaching. He has spoken in Churches and conferences in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Spain and the USA. He has authored over 20 books, with three more being published this year. His books have been translated into Welsh, Spanish, Swedish, Arabic, Russian and Rumanian.

Joe Montalto was born and raised in the Bronx, a borough of New York City. He attended the Roman Catholic Church as a young boy, and although he maintained a sense of religion and morality into his teenage and young adult years, he knew little about the Bible or its teachings. As a young man, Joe attended Columbia University in New York City, where he received both Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Electrical Engineering. During his time in college, Joe had to buy a Bible and read parts of it for a literature course. Although he believed the Bible's teachings, they did not make much impact upon his life at that time. However, shortly after leaving school, the Lord used that same Bible to open Joe's eyes to the truth. Joe began to learn and apply the Bible's teachings to his life. He came to realize that although he appeared to be righteous, he was a sinner in the eyes of God, and in need of Jesus Christ to save him. He came to see that the work of Christ in dying for sinners and being raised to life again was the way that God had provided for his salvation. He turned away from living for Himself and began to serve the true and living God. In July of 1996, Joe was baptized at Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Long Island where he became a member. Some time after that, he led their singles ministry and Bible study for a period of a few years. He now serves as a youth leader, a Sunday school teacher, and the leader of a nursing home ministry. Joe has worked in the fields of satellite and cellular communications. He currently works at Lucent Technologies in Whippany, New Jersey, where he has also been able to hold a weekly Bible study. In late 1999, Joe moved to Clifton, New Jersey, where he currently resides.
