The Rooftop Dennis Pethers was born and brought up just on the edge of London, England and came from a background where church did not feature at all.\u00a0 He never went to church, his family never went to church and nobody in the street where he lived went to church.\u00a0 \u00a0As Dennis puts it \u201cI didn\u2019t know that I didn\u2019t go to church\u2014and I didn\u2019t know that I didn\u2019t know Jesus!\u201d<\/p>

Dennis came to know Jesus as a result of his boss giving him the book \u2018Mere Christianity\u2019 to read. As he read the book, he discovered a truth that was just staggering, \u201cGod doesn\u2019t just exist, He loves me enough to die for me.\u201d This truth blew his mind and grabbed his heart \u2013 it seemed too good to be true, \u2018the creator of the universe and source of all life being willing to die for people who don\u2019t deserve it!\u2019 But it is true and his life was changed forever.\u00a0 This encounter with God filled Dennis\u2019 life with a new passion and he wanted everybody to hear this amazing news about who Jesus was and what he had done for them. Nobody that he knew (except his boss) had any idea of what the gospel was and he quickly discovered, that most Christians aren\u2019t that keen to share it!<\/p>

This passion grew and he left his job in London and trained for the ministry at Spurgeon\u2019s College.\u00a0 Since graduating Dennis has pastored a church and then led Viz-A-Viz Ministries, a UK-wide ministry for 20 years.\u00a0 In 2012 Dennis began The Rooftop as a global disciple-making movement that would inspire and equip the church to join Jesus in His Mission by making disciple who make disciples outside of the walls of the church.<\/p>

Dennis is married to Lynn and they have three grown-up children, Gregg, Scott and Amy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
