Peter moved to Tokyo, Japan in 1982 where he helped to lead a growing international fellowship and also worked in the Japanese computer industry. In 1987, he moved to Haifa, Israel, and has lived and taught there for more than 35 years. Aside from his local ministry responsibilities, Peter teaches in various countries.  While biblically focused, Peter's teaching is inspirational rather than academic.
