Pete Hodge

Pete had a radical conversion experience in 1971 when God broke into his life.  Birthed at that time was a longing to communicate the Gospel to the unsaved.  Pete was soon off to Bible college,  spent 5 years in pastoral leadership when during this time God’s call to evangelism was growing.

In 1981 Pete left the pastoral ministry and joined OAC as an Evangelist beginning the work for OAC in Wales where he has lived along with his wife Angie.  They have three married children (Luke, Bex and Steve) and six grandchildren.

Pete will be sharing from his heart lessons learnt (or still being learnt) in ministry – the good bits and also the bad bits…

Pete loves his mountain biking and gets out on the mountains as often as he can.
