Rev Dennis Pethers – International Pioneer
Rev Dennis Pethers is the Founder and International Pioneer of the Rooftop Ministries.
Born and brought up just on the edge of London, England, Dennis is from a background where church did not feature at all. As he puts it: “I didn’t know that I didn’t go to church—and I didn’t know that I didn’t know Jesus”!
Dennis became a Christian at the age of 19 while reading the book Mere Christianity by C.S.Lewis. This life-changing encounter with God filled his life with a new passion and from that day he wanted everybody to hear the amazing news about who Jesus is and what He has done for them.
Since deciding to follow Jesus, Dennis trained for ministry at Spurgeon’s college, pastored a church, worked in regional ministry and national ministry then, for 20 years he led Viz-A-Viz Ministries, an organization consisting of evangelists, a rock band, theatre companies and a video production team that produced videos that have been used in evangelism in many parts of the world.
In 2014, Dennis began The Rooftop Ministries and now travels the world communicating the vision of The Rooftop GLOBAL ENCOUNTER and inspiring and equipping the church worldwide to Join Jesus in His Mission.
Dennis is the author of a number of books and evangelistic materials for all ages as well as a discipleship coach and inspirational public speaker.
