Pastors Peter Nicholes
In 1979, Peter became a Christian during his last year of a Physical Education degree at university in Ballarat.
Peter married Karen in 1980. They have 3 children, Caleb, Rees and Amelia.
Peter is the Senior Minister of Southern Lights - Skye (suburb of Frankston) Victoria. He has been a Pastor since February 1987 when he planted Southern Lights. From 1992, after attending the School of Prophets in Malaysia, the prophetic dimension of his ministry was released and since 1994, after being set apart for the Apostolic. Apostolic Strategies have begun to flow. One of these being to grow a strong army of disciples.
Peter planted the Australian Master's Commission in 1999 - a one year, full time discipling school for young adults and a part-time discipling course called "Call to Discipling" in 1998. They have trained 100's of disciples. Southern Lights is a Resource Church, taking on a support role for churches and ministers. It has a strong training base. Teams are sent out to minister to churches on a regular basis.
Peter regularly ministers throughout Melbourne, Victoria and Interstate and has had the privilege of touching lives and churches overseas in PNG, Philippines, Fiji, South Africa, England, Holland, Germany, Malaysia, USA and Sri Lanka. He has been taking Prophetic and Apostolic Conferences, Leadership Training Seminars, Men's Camps, Youth Camps and Marriage Enrichment Weekends and teaching on foundational subjects such as families, courtship/honouring, marriage, discipling, fathering/manhood and training up the next generation.
Peter has a heart for families, marriages, and the body of Christ reaching their full potential in God. He has a strong mandate to see leadership and churches rise up through the foundation of prophetic revelation and apostolic strategies. He ministers to churches through relationship and a Generational Vision of turning the fathers' hearts to their children (Malachi 4 : 6) so the baton may be passed on into the 21st Century and beyond. The prophetic always flows wherever he ministers and 1,000's of lives have been dynamically affected through the prophetic mantle.
