Pastor Malvory Peffer

(africa evangelism trainer)

Since 2007, Pastor Malvory Peffer has been Evangelism Training International’s liaison to Africa. Born & raised in South Africa, he gave his life to the Lord at age 20. With over 35 years of ministry experience, he has pastored 6 different churches & started the ministry “God’s Love in Africa”. Known as a “pastor to pastors” throughout Africa, Pastor Malvory Peffer is a profound man of prayer & his extensive experience in evangelism & pastoral duties has made him a tremendous asset to E.T.I. The greatest joy of his life is to see people get trained & excited about sharing Jesus with others. “My personal passion is for the continuance of this program allowing anyone to be trained who wants to be a soul-winner.” Pastor Peffer’s vision is God opening doors & supplying Africa’s need for men & women to change their world. “I believe E.T.I. has come during a crucial time when we need to train men & women how to facilitate an opportunity for our local churches to meet their daily challenges.” To reach the entire African continent, to reach every continent, & to reach the world for Jesus Christ, these are the reasons why Evangelism Training International exists.
