Pete Greig is perhaps best known as the ‘bewildered founder’ of the 24-7 Prayer movement which has been going non-stop since 1999 and has reached more than half the nations on earth. He is also an award-winning author of nine books, and a co-host of the much-loved daily devotional Lectio365 used by 370,000 people.

Pete has been married to Sammy, a professional counsellor, more than thirty years. They are founding pastors of Emmaus Rd church in the south of England, members of The Order of the Mustard Seed, owners of a Cockapoo called Crumble, and proud parents to two adult sons.

Pete also serves as a director of Waverley Abbey, one of the oldest places of Christian prayer in the British Isles, as an Ambassador for the NGO Tearfund, and as a convenor for the annual Wildfires Festival, For eight years he was the Director of Prayer for Alpha at HTB in London.

Alongside leading, writing and teaching, Pete’s resources include The Prayer Course (down-loaded more than 3 million times), and the popular Aidan’s Way pilgrimage series, for which he hiked more than 300 miles from the Scottish island of Iona to the Holy Isle of Lindisfarne.

In his spare time, Pete enjoys mooching around art galleries and junk shops, laughing with friends, and following the vagaries of Portsmouth FC.
