Peter and Penny Piper

Biography

Peter began to see the Lord working in his life during overseas trips beginning in 2009. Through time with believers and in the Word of God, the Lord brought him to understand that salvation rests entirely in Christ—His life, His death for sinners, and His resurrection. Though Peter cannot point to one exact moment of conversion, he knows the Lord brought him from death to life. He was later baptized as a believer in 2015. Through those years overseas, the Lord also gave Peter a growing burden for people living with little or no access to the Gospel.

The Lord was also at work in Penny’s life in Europe. While in college, she began attending free English classes led by Christians who were intentionally sharing the Gospel and discipling students. Through Christian friendship, Bible study, prayer, and fellowship, the Lord gave Penny a hunger for His Word and brought her to understand that she had no hope in her own goodness, but only in Christ, His death, and His resurrection.

Their stories are reminders that salvation belongs to the Lord. He sends His people, opens hearts, and calls sinners to Himself. The Lord eventually brought Peter and Penny together in marriage, and they now have three children. For years, they have prayed about serving among people with little or no access to the Gospel. Their desire is to proclaim Christ, make disciples, and see believers gathered into faithful local churches. They are currently attending a cross-cultural training center in Asia and should be complete by mid-2027.

Their confidence rests in the promise of King Jesus and what He has said He will accomplish: Jesus will build His Church!

They are sent by Covenant Reformed Baptist Church in Angier, North Carolina.
